A NEW recruitment fair is to launch in Reading aimed at getting women into work.
Organised by the charity Smart Works Reading, at least 12 employers will be in attendance, including Thames Water, Greggs and childcare specialists Tiger Lily.
All those attending will have vacancies, while jobseekers will be able to access free interview advice, support, and, if needed, clothing for job interviews.
This is in line with the charity’s ethos of empowering women, with the aim of transforming lives by giving the skills and coaching they need to succeed.
All attendees are entitled to an appointment to receive clothes and coaching ahead of any interview they secure on the day.
Job coaching and CV advice will also be available for any women who want to discuss their options with trained employment coaches.
Claire Lawley, service delivery manager at Smart Works Reading, said: “We are delighted to be hosting our first Jobs Fair and look forward to welcoming local businesses, of all shapes and sizes.
“We are very much relying on our local Smart Works community to spread the word about this exciting new event.”
The event takes place at Smart Works Reading’s base in Enterprise House, London Street, between 10am and 2pm on Wednesday, September 28.
