Offaly Job Fair takes place today in the Tullamore Court Hotel

Doors open to the public at 10.30am and the fair wil continue until 3pm.

The official opening will be performed by Minister Dara Colleary at 11am.

Tullamore & District Chamber of Commerce along with partners, Offaly Local Development, Offaly Local Enterprise Office, Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest and Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board are the bodies which organised the 2024 Offaly Jobs Fair.

The event features a large number of business who will be available to meet with potential future employees and inform them of their vacancies.

“The event will attract job seekers especially the employee market who are leaving our county each day on long commutes,” said Chamber President, Anthony Hanniffy speaking at the informal launch at the band stand in Lloyd Town Park in May.

He said that last year’s fair proved to be a great success with very positive feedback from both job hunters and businesses.
