Councillor Liz Redfern, Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Last year’s Careers Event was a huge success and I’m sure this year’s will be just as successful – if not more. We have got a wide variety of businesses attending the event that people will be able to talk to and find out more about what they are looking for in an employee.

“We will also be launching our next round of apprenticeships that will start in April 2014. If you are interested in an apprenticeship at the council go along to the event to find out more. Our apprenticeship scheme is very successful with the majority of people going onto full time employment, level three apprenticeships or further education.

“We understand how important it is for you to choose the right career or course, which is why we are offering a helping hand by putting everything all in one place. There will be businesses, colleges and universities on hand with some great advice.

“It is important that we continue to provide support and advice for people in North Lincolnshire which is why we provide the Careers Event along with many other events throughout the year. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity.”
