Reverse Jobs Fair

A jobs fair with a difference is being held in Stevenston to pair employers up with their future workforce.

The talent showcase – with a twist – will see people who are looking for work servicing the tables as their potential employers walk round and take a look at their CVs and find out about their skills and experience.

These events are usually held the other way round, with employers taking a table and jobseekers turning up to see which jobs are available.

Business owners and employers are invited to attend the Reverse Jobs Fair on Friday, February 24.
