Courtney Isherwood, Youth Hub Co-Ordinator at Fleetwood Youth Hub reports on the event held, 2nd August 2024 ...
Our Youth Job Fair was an incredible day to say the least!
We saw an amazing total of 63 attendees throughout the day, 41 of which were universal credit claimants. There was never a moment that the space was empty and each employer/provider always had someone in front of them.
The overall buzz through out the day was fantastic and each person that walked through the door walked away with either improved confidence when talking to prospective employers, a clearer idea of what they want to do with their future or at best, an interview!
We have a total of 14 confirmed interviews and are still awaiting feedback from other employers. Further to this, 16 young people have signed up for adult learning courses and apprenticeships through the providers that attended.
The team have worked together so hard on this event and we were so pleased with the turn out. We had 4 employers offering opportunities on the day; Fleetwood Town,
Emerchantpay, FCMS, & UBU.
In addition to this, we had 3 apprenticeship providers in attendance; The Growth Company, B&FC and Rosscon. The Army also attended to showcase their 237 apprenticeship opportunities.
The feedback we have received from those invited to offer opportunities has been great and every one of them are eager to attend any future events.
