ABOUT THE TRAIN4TOMORROW PROGRAMME
Train4Tomorrow offers free, high-quality, digital and technical training to employed and unemployed adults in Devon, Plymouth, Torbay and Cornwall. The training is designed by industry employers to meet their open and live vacancies.
The programme, funded through the National Skills Fund, includes digital and technical Bootcamps that have been designed to help local people advance or pivot their skills into growing sectors resilient to the current economic downturn. You can find out more about the programme here.
The latest cohort of Train4Tomorrow Skills Bootcamp is now concluding and at our free-to-attend online jobs fair, we will connect local employers with the highly skilled talent completing the Skills Bootcamps.
ABOUT THE JOB FAIR
Train4Tomorrow are running an online Digital and Technical Jobs Fairs on 15th March. Our Digital Job Fair will run from 10 am to 12.30 pm and Technical Job Fair from 2 pm to 4.30 pm, allowing learners to speak to as many local employers as possible.
Local employers are invited to have their own virtual table, which will be attended by up to 6 learners at a time for 15 minutes slots. Here, employers can showcase their business, promote vacancies and meet with potential candidates - you could even arrange future interviews or conduct mini interviews on the day.
Throughout the day there will also be speakers, from a range of industries, giving talks on inspiring topics.
A detailed plan of the jobs fairs timetables and how to navigate the online platform will be sent to learners and employers ahead of the event, and will be available online.
