We’re delighted to partner with BIP to bring The South Hams Employment Fair to the South Hams on Thurs, 20 February 2025 at Kingsbridge Community College. Exhibiting at the event is free, and fully funded by South Hams District Council. This is an ideal opportunity to showcase your business and connect with local job seekers.

Finding the right people to join your business can be challenging. Employment fairs can be a very cost-effective way to meet a number of potential candidates in one place. As this is a funded event, there’s no cost for taking a stand (though spaces are limited), so if you are looking at recruiting in 2025, don’t miss out on this opportunity.

This event offers the chance to interact directly with potential candidates, increase your local presence, and meet and network with other local businesses.

Matching job seekers with local businesses in South Hams

Join us at an exciting, free event and opportunity for job seekers, local businesses and those looking into self-employment. The South Hams Employment Fair is taking place at Kingsbridge Community College on Thursday 20th February, 2025 from 1.30pm to 6.15pm.
