“The variety of jobs available continues to grow, which creates an even more diverse range of opportunities for local people.

“The number of people who have benefited since the fair’s inception is a testament to the great work by the team at the Learning Shop and Bluewater.
“I would like to wish all the hopeful candidates the very best of luck when applying for positions.”

Bluewater general manager Robert Goodman said: “I have no doubt that the fair will be another great success for The Learning Shop, with lots of positive employment stories to follow.”
