WEST Berkshire Work and Careers Fair will be held at Newbury College next Wednesday (October 11), offering careers advice and putting those seeking employment in touch with recruiters.

Exhibiting organisations include Amberjack, Bluegrasscoms, David Wilson Homes, Debenhams, Priors Court, Sovereign, TK Maxx and West Berkshire Council.

For those seeking advice and tips on how to improve their job prospects, Adviza will be running workshops covering interview techniques, presentation skills and CV writing throughout the event.

Newbury College’s apprenticeship team will also be on hand to discuss how an apprenticeship can kickstart your career and its current vacancy opportunities.

The event is supported by Elevate West Berkshire, helping 16- to 24-year-olds gain the skills they need for employment. Secondary schools are welcome to bring students from year 10 upwards to help them gain inspiration for future job paths.
