BRIGG INTEREST IN MAJOR JOBS AND CAREERS EVENT

Grimley Smith Associates - based in Brigg Market Place - will be one of the firms supporting a major careers fair organised by North Lincolnshire Council.
It's good to see them, and other companies from across the district, giving generously of staff time to support something aimed at helping young people.
More than 1,600 North Lincolnshire school pupils and college students are expected at the jobs and careers event organised by North Lincolnshire Council during the day on Monday, October 8 at Forest Pines Hotel, near Broughton.
The event is also open to the general public after 3.30pm.
North Lincolnshire Council is organising the fair to give businesses and other employers the chance to capture the imagination of young people, and job seekers showing them the opportunities that are open to them.
Seventy exhibitors will be present including colleges, universities and employers, covering every area of further education, employment opportunities from retail to social care and engineering to accountancy.
The theme is 'You can be whatever you want to be’ and there will be tips on finding work, training opportunities, further and higher education, apprenticeships and volunteering opportunities.
It is open to school pupils in years nine and 10 from 9am to 3pm and after that it is open to year 11 and college students, young job seekers and parents.
‘Get that Job’ workshops are being run at 3.30pm, 4.30pm and 5.30pm.  The workshops will give "attendees" employability skills.
