The final Sheffield's Working Jobs Fair of 2022, delivered by Opportunity Sheffield in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, took place at Broomhall Community Centre on Tuesday 22 November.
Jobseekers from the local area attended to discover the latest job opportunities, meet employers and find out about employment support and training options.
Employers in attendance included The University of Sheffield, Avon and Sheffield City Council, who were on hand to talk through current vacancies and advise routes into their industries.
"The job fairs are a great opportunity to meet people in real life in their communities, to see what we can offer," said Sarah Higgins, Sheffield's Working Project Officer.
"Doing localised events like this has gone really well. We've had good footfall today – great positive people who are here because they want to grab the opportunities, and not because the job centre told them to be here.
"I think they benefit everyone. We're taking the next Jobs Fair to Gleadless in January. Transport links are good, and we already have some great employers lined up."
Adeel Zahman, Local Area Committee Manager at Sheffield City Council, added:
"It's great to see a diverse range of people from the local community and surrounding areas of Broomhall. The purpose of the LACs is to empower communities and bring services into the heart of the community.
"I believe in a bottom-up approach, and regular events like this, elevate individuals and the whole local area."
