Upcoming employment events for your diary
Employability Day this Friday 13 September is the UK’s largest celebration for organisations supporting local people to gain, sustain and progress in work.
Ahead of the big day, we have rounded up four brilliant free events taking place over the next four weeks in the borough, to provide career inspiration, boost your employability skills and to help you find work.
A council spokesperson said: “Helping our residents to secure a good job is one of our key missions and is vital to shaping the more inclusive economy we want to see in Greenwich. Our employment and skills service, GLLaB, is at the heart of this work, providing residents with the helping hand to move forward on their path to employment and realising their full potential. If you’re a Royal Greenwich resident looking for a new job or to develop your skills, these events are for you.”
