Those who are interested in self-employment can also pick up help and advice at the event.

The event is also set to be interactive: a gaming van will invite attendees to have a go at some of the latest games, while emergency service vehicles will be parked outside for them to explore.

The careers event is part of the Working Denbighshire programme, which is being delivered by Denbighshire County Council.

Working with businesses and organisations in the area, the programme is committed to supporting young people who live in the county with support to gain a place in education or training and help to get into work or become self-employed.

Working Denbighshire is part-funded by the council and the Welsh Government through the European Social Fund, and works in partnership with Communities for Work and Job Centre Plus.

Cllr Jason McLellan, council leader and lead member for economic growth and tackling deprivation, said: “This fair is open to anyone and everyone, especially those who need career support and advice to help them in their lives.

“There will be a wide range of employers available to talk to giving an opportunity for individuals at all levels of experience to discuss their careers.

“This event is what Working Denbighshire scheme is all about, helping people and providing valuable opportunities.

“We are proud to have this service which aims to tackle poverty through employment.”

There is no need to book: attendees can simply turn up on the day.

Following the event, Working Denbighshire will be arranging taster sessions for young people to receive a further insight into the sectors that most interest them.
