The inaugural DIFE Employer Recruitment Event which was developed to support employers from the region with their recruitment needs took place earlier this week.
There were over 30 employers in attendance from a variety of different industries and sector areas including childcare healthcare, construction, engineering, mobility and transport, science, hair and beauty, motor and sport. Additionally, a number of training providers, employability services and recruitment agencies were present, providing a broad range of opportunities to learners.
There was a fantastic atmosphere at the event with employers and students networking and forging connections with the event providing a wealth of opportunities for talented DIFE students. We would like to extend our appreciation to all those who attended on the day and contributed to making the event a fantastic success.
