SUMMARY:Reverse Jobs Fair
DESCRIPTION:Calderdale Council’s Employment Hub\, in collaboration with Newground\, will be hosting a Reverse Jobs Fair at The Culturedale Hub in Halifax Town Centre. What is a Reverse Jobs Fair?

This is your chance to support the local community and show job seekers the fantastic opportunities available in Calderdale. We will be inviting job seekers aged between 16 – 24 who are actively looking for work in a variety of sectors. \nRegister today for your FREE ticket. If you require any further information about this event\, please contact us on growyourfuture@calderdale.gov.uk. We look forward to seeing you on the day!\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 10:30AM\nFrom 10:30AM to 12:30PM \n\n\nLocation: Culturedale Hub – Northgate House\, Halifax\, HX1 1UR
