The Department of Economic Development is inviting local organisations to participate in Employment and Skills 2016, the Island’s largest careers event.
The event will take place on Thursday 10th November at the Villa Marina, Douglas and will be jointly hosted by the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Education and Children.
Graham Cregeen MHK, Political Member with responsibility for Employment and Skills at the Department of Economic Development, said:
‘It is a great pleasure to once again host this event with our colleagues from the Department of Education and Children. Support from industry is vital for mutually beneficial events such as this. Employment and Skills 2016 offers a fantastic opportunity for the Island’s employers to showcase the depth of opportunity available on the Isle of Man. Companies and associations from the private, public and third sectors are all welcome to exhibit.’
The Department of Economic Development is responsible for employment, skills development and training on the Island and works closely with the Department of Education and Children in this regard. This event is aimed at job seekers of any age currently searching for full time employment, considering a change in their current employment or researching future opportunities.
Previous events have been attended by secondary school students and adult jobseekers alike, giving them the opportunity to speak directly to potential employers in an informal setting about the range of careers and jobs available.
Employers wishing to exhibit will find full details of the event and an online application form at https://www.gov.im/esc2016.
Alternatively, they can contact the event organiser Frances Hampton by telephoning 01624 693830 or via email at frances.hampton@gov.im
The deadline for applications is Friday 19th August.
