Free career fair with face-to-face meetings with recruiters from a range of industries, for job seekers, career changers and apprenticeship seekers.
The Reading Careers Fair comes to pentahotel Reading on Friday 15 October, from 10am to 2pm. It's part of The UK Careers Fair, a series of events that run across the country, bringing together employers and training providers from a wide range of industries in one room.
The whole thing is open to anyone looking at new opportunities. That covers a fair few bases: people actively job searching, those thinking about a career change, anyone returning to work, or even just someone who wants to get a better sense of what's available locally. The format is straightforward — you speak directly with recruiters in a relaxed, face-to-face setting, which is a bit easier than the usual back-and-forth of online applications.
What you'll find there runs the full length of the job market. There are entry-level, graduate and experienced roles alongside apprenticeships and training options, so it works whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for years. The organisations on the floor range from local and national businesses to public sector bodies, recruitment companies and job boards, with roles stretching from entry-level up to management and flexible working. It's the kind of place where you can see a few different paths in one morning rather than spending days clicking through separate sites.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Reading and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.
