High Peak’s MP Jon Pearce will be hosting his fourth careers, skills and jobs fair where more than 50 businesses will be there helping people on to the next stage of their career.

This autumn’s event will take place on Friday, September 25 at Glossop Cricket Club from 10am until 1pm.

There will also be a dedicated neurodiverse hour from 10am to 11am to provide a quieter, more accessible environment for attendees.

Mr Pearce said: “I’m delighted to be hosting my fourth High Peak Careers, Skills and Jobs Fair.

“At every event, we’ve seen hundreds of local people come through the doors to meet employers, explore new opportunities and take the next step in their careers.

“Whether you’re leaving school, looking for a new job, considering a career change or hoping to learn new skills, this event has something for everyone.

“Bringing together over 50 employers, training providers and support organisations under one roof creates real opportunities for people across High Peak.”

This year’s fair will feature more than 50 employers, education providers and training organisations, including Amazon, Google, Tarmac, Nestlé, Bosch, the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force and the British Army, alongside many local employers and education providers.

The September event will see Google deliver a free interactive workshop from 11am until 12:30pm exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support people throughout their job search.

The session will demonstrate practical ways AI can help with writing CVs, preparing for interviews, completing applications and developing career skills.

Mr Pearce added: “I’m especially pleased that we’re once again making the event as accessible as possible by holding a dedicated neurodiverse hour, ensuring everyone has the

opportunity to attend in an environment that works for them.

“Helping people into good jobs, supporting local businesses to recruit, and investing in skills is vital for our local economy. I look forward to welcoming residents from across High Peak to promises to be another fantastic event.”

The High Peak Careers, Skills and Jobs Fair is free to attend, with no booking required.

Residents are encouraged to bring copies of their CV if they wish to discuss opportunities directly with employers.

The Google workshop does require booking with only 50 spaces available. People can register their interest here: www.jon4highpeak.com/highpeakjobsfair/
