CTP welcomed in excess of 50 exhibitors and over 350 Service leavers to the Scotland Employment Fair, held at the Royal Highland Showground in Edinburgh.
Exhibitors from across a wide range of industry sectors were in attendance to speak with Service leavers about the employment opportunities within their organisations. New companies attending the fair for the first time included Coral Racing, EDF Energy and First Group, all of whom enjoyed considerable interest from Service leavers and provided many with career choices they may not have thought of previously, opening up new employment avenues to consider.
The likes of Schlumberger and Vroon Offshore held court for many clients seeking information about roles in the popular Oil & Gas Industry. Amazon came a close second to this, and received high levels of interest from Service leavers wishing to find about more about their Military Recruitment programme.
The Service leavers in attendance found the day a useful platform for networking with employers and exploring the different opportunities available to them. Many submitted CV’s for specific vacancies there and then, and one has secured a role as Operations Engineering Instructor with EDF Energy as a direct result of his attendance at the fair.
