The Black Country Job Support continue to support community hour at Black Country Xtra, with Andy & Sarah from the Thrive into Work teams the latest to attend the local radio station.

The next in a series of IPS Jobs Fairs took place in Wolverhampton today, at the Bob Jones Community Centre. At 214 attendees, we had our largest turnout to date, and 46 providers, including employers, support services and training providers were present to support Black Country job seekers to find and apply for live vacancies. 

The Wolverhampton IPS team said “This was a fantastic event for Wolverhampton, attendees expressed it was one of the best jobs fairs they had gone to. Employers and training providers also felt the event was useful to be able to network to see what is available and how people can connect with each other in Wolverhampton." Huge appreciation to all attendees and providers who came together to make this latest event a success.

Keep an eye out for our next events on out calendar or via our social media channels.
