Hexham MP, Guy Opperman has hailed his 2022 Tynedale Jobs Fair as a success after hundreds of job-seekers attended the event.
Over 75 employers were in attendance at the Jobs Fair showcasing the many job opportunities available across Tynedale and the wider North East.
Guy welcomed some of the Ukrainians who have recently resettled in Tynedale who are looking for employment opportunities.
The Jobs Fair was sponsored by: EGGER, Vattenfall, Bam Nuttall and Northumbrian Water. Waitrose and Tesco kindly provided water and sweets.
Guy Opperman MP said:
“I was delighted to hold my seventh Tynedale Jobs Fair with the Hexham Jobcentre.
A massive thanks to the 65+ employers, our local sponsors, the Jobcentre staff, my team, and the hundreds of attendees. It takes months to organise but makes a huge impact locally.
There are over hundred Ukrainians who are job hunting in West Northumberland, so it was amazing to meet many of them at the Jobs Fair and help many of them into local work.”
