Careers Wales is hosting a recruitment event at Newport careers centre aimed at connecting individuals with local apprenticeships and other opportunities.

The event will bring together local employers currently recruiting for apprentices and/ or vacancies as well as training providers and guidance agencies. The attending organisations include:

During the event, attendees will have the chance to speak directly with local employers, who will provide detailed information about the roles and answer any questions.

Careers advisers from Working Wales will also be available to provide free employability support, including assistance with CV writing, interview preparation, and tips for completing applications.

The event is open to anyone aged 16 and over and it does not require pre-booking.

Chelsea Dopson, stakeholder engagement adviser at Careers Wales, said: “We’re excited to bring employers and job seekers together for this recruitment event in Newport.

“Whether you’re interested in an apprenticeship or exploring other employment options, this event is the perfect place to make connections. We’re here to help you explore all the possibilities available.”

Laura Edmunds, business support manager at Newport Norse, said: “Newport Norse are excited to attend the fair to give the attendees an understanding of what Newport Norse do and what opportunities we have available. We currently have cleaning vacancies available but may be looking for apprenticeships in the future and so this event will help to engage with young people who may be interested in those.”

Lici Eastman, apprenticeship manager at ONS, said: “Apprenticeships at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are an exciting and unique opportunity to learn on the job while helping to shape and support the future of data and statistics. By joining the ONS as an apprentice, you will get to work on real projects, bring fresh ideas, and grow your career in a dynamic and supportive environment. We’re excited to connect with potential candidates at the Newport fair.”

Working Wales is delivered by Careers Wales and funded by the Welsh Government to provide careers guidance and employability support to those aged 16 and above.
