Jobs off the wall as fair is a big success

Over 1,000 people attended a Kerry Jobs Fair at the Rose Hotel in Tralee this Tuesday with the event co-ordinated by the NEWKD in collaboration with the Department of Social Protection and Tralee Chamber Alliance.

NEWKD official, Elaine Kennedy, said they were delighted with the response and the event was a huge success.

A jobs wall with over 200 positions ready to start was a big hit at the fair.

“There was a lovely, relaxed and informal atmosphere and people really appreciated the opportunity to talk face-to-face with employers,” she said.

“It can be difficult to make a direct connection with an employer so we were happy to be able to remove some of the barriers,” Elaine added.

Buses were arranged to transport people to and from the venue and translators for Ukrainians were also available.

Over 35 employers and services were present on the day to promote over 400 jobs and the feedback the organisers received was really positive.

The NEWKD also featured a jobs wall with a further 200 positions available in the area.

Employers were offering hundreds of jobs across a range of sectors including technology, office administration, accounts, hospitality, food production and tourism.
