It was well worth my time coming today."

"Today was really useful to speak with career help services about the support they offer and how to access it. It was also good to speak with these experts about where the demand for work currently lies."
Ellie, Burnley, 27/06/2025
"I have been made redundant from a leading management role and have never experienced this situation before in over twenty years of work. The idea of a jobs fair had never registered with me before but has come as some relief to me. I think that the lists of available vacancies is fantastic and the various employers who are available to talk to are a great idea. Thank you for the opportunity. "
Kevin, Brighton & Hove, 27/06/2025
"Burnley Job Fair is a great place to start- it’s great to see employers and recruiters face to face and build those networks. They can answer questions directly in a way that’s more personal than online."
Kate, Burnley, 27/06/2025
"Really good event, a lot of employers that are eager to speak to you and find out more about you. You are able to ask employers questions that I probably wouldn’t be able to get answers for from just a job description. Good way to see what roles are out there and learn about business values and what the recruitment process is like."
Anisa, Burnley, 27/06/2025
"Lovely environment, welcoming, much easier to do than an online application. I had open discussions with an easy process of directing information."
Jill, Blackpool, 13/06/2025
"I’m losing my job in August working in a section of the NHS, so thought I’d come and see what opportunities are available now so I don’t go long without a role. It was worth speaking with companies even if it was to build up some contacts!"
Naomi, Cheltenham & Gloucester, 11/06/2025
"I am really pleased I came today. I am looking to get back into nursing after a break in employment. I have gained some contact details for an employer that is able to help me get back into this role. Really pleased with this!"
Louise, Blackburn, 04/06/2025
"Very useful for those who are new to work or looking for work. I myself am interested in getting a career in marketing so I found the catch22 scheme the most helpful."
Jenny, Central London, 23/05/2025
"I’m graduating from university soon and want to give myself some options for next year! I spoke with various companies today and came out with a few different options to look into, very happy I came!"
Jasmine, Doncaster, 21/05/2025
