The 2023 Horsham Jobs and Skills Fair once again brought local employers and hundreds of local jobseekers together to Horsham’s Drill Hall on Saturday 30 September 2023 to make the event a great success.
Organised by Horsham District Council, the Jobs and Skills event was a platform for some 34 employers, training and college organisations and voluntary groups and charities from the local area to attract new employees, apprentices, and volunteers.
In all, more than300 opportunities were available on the day and hundreds of visitors took advantage of the wide range of vacancies available.
Some of the companies attending this year included:
Mountjoy, Home Telecom, Global 4 Communications, Rewards Training, Schroders,1A Acclaim Specialist Cleaners and Chichester College Group.
Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy, Cllr Ruth Fletcher was impressed with the range of companies attending and said:
I am delighted that so many organisations came along to promote their vacancies and equally that so many local people attended. The companies I spoke to were all so positive about the Fair, saying it was a good way to showcase their company, make new contacts and recruit.
“The availability of jobs shows that many of our local companies are performing well and recruiting for growth, which is a positive sign for the local economy.
“The event was really useful for people seeking a change in career direction and people looking to upskill their talents to improve their job prospects, as well as unemployed people looking to get back into paid work.”
