Cannock Chamber hosts successful jobs fair with key partner

The Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce partnered with DWP Cannock to successfully host the Jobs, Careers, and Education Fair.

Held at the Aquarius Ballroom in Hednesford, the event was organised in collaboration with Michael Evans and Sarah Smith from the Job Centre.

The key focus of the event was to build awareness and close the skills gap between business, schools, colleges and job seekers.

The fair brought together local businesses, job seekers, and individuals exploring career options, along with work-related support organisations, fostering meaningful connections and opportunities for the community.

It was supported by Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce president David Mitchell and executive committee member Emily Kenny.

Speaking about the fair, Richard Brooks said: “We were incredibly pleased with the turn out from businesses, organisations and job seekers, and thank everyone for coming, especially Michael and Sarah from the DWP who worked very hard to make everything happen.

“However there is much more to do and the chamber hope to keep on pushing to bring recruitment needs to the forefront.”
