Timings

We request that you book a 1-hour time slot so that we can maintain safety standards. You can book up to 2 people on your time slot (everyone that wants to attend needs to book a ticket). If you pick a time slot and it's fully booked please try another time slot.

We expect the event to be popular so residents who have booked a time slot will be given priority over walk-ins on the day.

Reviews

We held a jobs fair last year at Aston Villa Park. Here are a few reviews from people who attended.

“It was great, I got a job”.

“This was the third jobs fair I have attended in recent weeks and was by far the best.

“I ended the day feeling a lot more positive about my future and now have avenues I can explore.” “It was well organised and there was a good mix of employment opportunities, advice on further training and CV "

“As I am currently at risk of redundancy, I found this job fairs provided opportunities for myself as the previous focused more on graduates and young people.”

“Having been to other job fairs in the past, I feel this one is the best so far. From when we arrived, the staff were very welcoming and spent time explaining what I could expect from the day.”
