He said: “I am pleased to promote this event which helps both employers looking to recruit and those looking for work.

“It is an excellent initiative and brings together local employers, service providers and job seekers to help those people who want to work in this area.

“It also gives genuine job seekers the opportunity to meet with prospective employers and discuss their requirements in various fields including retail, construction and the healthcare and leisure industry.

“I would urge local businesses to support this event and sign up to take part.”

The event is part of a series of follow up pop-up job and career events across the towns of Flintshire after the success of the annual event which took place in April at Deeside Leisure Centre.

There will also be practical advice on hand including a CV checkpoint area and help to write application forms from Careers Wales.
