Popular Jobs Fair set return to Regeneration areas in Limerick

LOCAL people are being encouraged to “kick-start their career” as a popular Jobs Fair returns to Regeneration areas in Limerick city.

The event is returning to Limerick’s four regeneration communities for a second year after successfully linking residents with new employers, training and education courses in 2022.

The Regeneration areas which will host this year’s Job Fair are: Moyross, Ballinacurra Weston, St Mary’s Park and Southill, with Moyross Youth Academy hosting the first of the lot.

Mayor of Limerick City and County Council Cllr Francis Foley, said he is “delighted” to see the Jobs Fair return.

“If your goal is further education, training or employment then I encourage you to get along and kick-start your career at the Jobs Fair,” he said.

Joe Delaney, Director of Limerick Regeneration Directorate added: “The Jobs Fair is an initiative of the Outreach to Employment Programme which aims to challenge unemployment within Regeneration communities through an integrated service approach.  It is designed to equip unemployed young men and women with the skills and confidence to secure employment and training opportunities. The feedback from employers to last year’s Jobs Fair was extremely positive and the communities are welcoming its return this year.”

Some of the companies who will have stalls on this coming Thursday, April 20 include: Johnson & Johnson, Lidl, Volkswagen Group, Limerick Youth Service, The Defence Forces and Bus Eireann.
