Kent businesses are being urged to attend the third Cross-border Jobs Fair next month.

Organisers say the fair, at Calais Frethun, gives UK, Belgian and French business chiefs the opportunity to expand and strengthen their connections.

Employment and cross-border trade will be high on the agenda.

Delegates will also be able to hear about the experiences of employees who have taken a job or an internship abroad.

The fair is expected to attract considerable media coverage from newspapers, TV and radio.

One of the sponsors, Eurotunnel, is offering free shuttle travel, plus lunch for two, to companies which book a stand.

The jobs fair booking fee is £200, but there is a special discounted offer.

Other sponsors include: the City of Frethun, Bank Credit Agricole, the Opal Coast Chamber of Commerce and the Regional Council of Nord Pas de Calas.

• The fair takes place on Thursday, October 4, from 10am-6pm. More information: http://www.jobstransfrontaliers.eu
