Series of free information events launched to support local jobseekers

A series of free information events has been launched, which are designed to help Denbighshire residents explore career options across different industries. These sessions, running in December/January, offer a chance to learn more about job roles, career progression, skills, training, pay, and what employers are looking for in key sectors.

The schedule of events is as follows:

Working in the Hospitality Sector

• Information Day: 17 December, 1pm – 2:30pm: Working Denbighshire Office, Rhyl Library, Church St, Rhyl LL18 3AA
• With Guest Speaker Sophie from Denbighshire Leisure.

Working in Social Care

• Information Day: 10 January, 10am – 11am, Working Denbighshire Office, Rhyl Library, Church St, Rhyl LL18 3AA

Following the information days, some of these sectors will also include hands-on taster sessions, giving attendees a real feel for the working environment in each sector. The Forestry and Conservation sector will host its taster on 5th December from 12:30 pm to 4 pm, with similar sessions to follow.

Councillor Jason McLellan, Leader of the Council and Lead Member for Economic Growth & Tackling Deprivation, said: “Working Denbighshire’s sector events are a great example of how we’re helping residents connect with rewarding careers. These sessions give people direct access to information and industry insights, which is a fantastic way to boost local employment and strengthen our community.”

Rachael Sumner-Lewis, Employer & Training Relationship Manager for Working Denbighshire said: “Our sector information events aim to bridge the gap between jobseekers and local industries. By giving an in-depth look into each sector, we’re supporting them in upskilling, retraining, or just gaining insight into the job market.”
