KINGSWINFORD and South Staffordshire MP Mike Wood is continuing his annual tradition of bringing employers and training providers together to showcase career opportunities to residents.

Due to the boundary changes that came into force following the general election, the event, which the MP has previously hosted at Merry Hill shopping centre, will now take place at Wombourne Leisure Centre.

Mr Wood said: “This will be the tenth Jobs and Skills Fair I have organised since first being elected in 2015, and I’m really looking forward to bringing employers and local people together at Wombourne Leisure Centre.

“Whether people are looking for a career change or are out of work and looking for a new opportunity, there will be a wide range on offer so I hope residents from across Kingswinford and South Staffordshire will find the event useful for their next career move.”

A range of employers, colleges and training providers have already signed up to attend and advertise vacancies, and these include the NHS, West Midlands Police, Staffordshire County Council, the Army, West Midlands Ambulance Service, Waldrons Solicitors and more.

The free event will take place between midday and 3pm on Friday November 8 at Wombourne Leisure Centre, Ounsdale Road.
