Jobs fair in Llangollen hailed as a success by organisers
Organised by Working Denbighshire, the event connected job seekers with organisations offering employment, training, and volunteering opportunities, with some attendees already progressing to interviews. Councillor Jason McLellan, leader of Denbighshire County Council and lead member for economic growth and tackling deprivation, said: "This jobs fair highlights the strength and spirit of our local community. "It's inspiring to see employers and job seekers come together in such a positive way to create real pathways to employment and training. "Working Denbighshire is proud to play a key role in supporting people on their journey to meaningful work and a brighter future." Exhibitors at the fair included the Army, RAF, Anheddau, Branas Isaf, Denbighshire Citizens Advice, Business Wales, and Clwyd Alyn. While not all employers had immediate vacancies, they offered career guidance and promoted future opportunities. Branas Isaf confirmed that it has already scheduled interviews with attendees, and other employers shared application links and signposted training routes. Ruth Hanson, principal manager at Working Denbighshire, said: "The success of this event reflects the hard work and collaboration between employers, partners, and our team. "We're committed to continuing these opportunities and supporting job seekers every step of the way. "It's incredibly rewarding to see so many people engaged, motivated, and taking the first steps towards their new careers." Support organisations such as Adferiad and South Denbighshire Community Partnership also used the event to engage with individuals who could benefit from wellbeing, volunteering, or self-employment support. The jobs fair is part of Working Denbighshire's ongoing efforts to help residents access employment, training, and enterprise opportunities.
