Flint Town Council and Flint High School to host jobs and apprenticeship fair

Flint Town Council and Flint High School are set to host a joint Jobs and Apprenticeship Fair next month.

This initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening the local job market and providing valuable opportunities for the community’s youth and job seekers.

The fair will showcase a wide range of organisations from sectors including defence, finance, aerospace, and more.

Targeting pupils in Years 10-13 from the Flintshire area, along with their parents and local residents, the event offers a unique opportunity to meet industry leaders.

The fair, on 8th February, will open its doors from 3.30pm to 6.00pm. This allows ample time for attendees to engage with representatives, explore different career options, and gain insights into the job market.
