What Can You get Out of Attending?
The reason we organise events such as Employment Fairs and Industry Awareness Days throughout the year, regionally throughout the UK and Germany, is to provide Service leavers with opportunities to learn about:
-
Careers available in today's competitive job market,
-
The opportunities that await you
-
Qualifications and experience you already have or will need
-
Different industries
-
To network with potential employers
We host a number of different types of events and each one offers different opportunties and Service leavers are encourages to take advantage of these in order to be fully informed and proactive in your resettlement.
Employment Fairs
Typically between 50-80 different employers or employer organisations will set up stands at an employment fair, dependant on the size of the venue. They can answer your questions and provide information about their organisation and the opportunities available.
Employers attend because they have recognised the particular benefits of employing Service leavers and they see CTP employment fairs as an excellent way of recruiting the type of people they seek - people like you - who are highly skilled and have strong soft skills such as motivation, reliability and discipline.
The whole event provides an excellent opportunity to gain ideas about your future career, find out about training options and network with potential employers. We encourage Service leavers to take along plenty of copies of their CV to these events as employers will be more than happy to collect CVs from potential candidates for vacancies they have on offer.
Industry Awareness Days
These events focus on a particular industry sector and several employers will talk about their industry and the opportunities it offers.
They are normally held in RRCs and enable you to gain a general overview as well as meet people and ask specific questions.
Some companies will hold informal interviews on the day and if successful, you could be invited along for a formal interview at a later date.
Remember! All these events are run for your benefit, and may just provide that link to the job you want and deserve.
