Preparations are already underway for this year's South Kerry Jobs Fair, which is scheduled to take place on February 13 at the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney.

The event promises to feature a diverse range of job opportunities, as well as valuable workshops covering topics such as CV tailoring, upskilling, and interview techniques.
The South Kerry Jobs Fair has consistently proven successful, attracting both job seekers and employers in significant numbers.
Last year, over 1,500 people attended, and this year, the event is expected to attract companies from a broad range of sectors including hospitality, healthcare, engineering, education, and finance.
The event is organised by South Kerry Development Partnership CLG.
Joanne Griffin, SKDP's Enterprise Officer said: "The success of the past two years is a testament to the high demand for skilled workers in the region."
"In addition to the companies offering employment opportunities, there are also a range of other service and education providers who can offer valuable opportunities to those attending," she added.
Griffin highlighted the popularity of the advice workshops, which provide job seekers with up-to-date information and guidance to improve their job search prospects.
SKDP CEO Noel Spillane emphasized the event's significance for both job seekers and employers.
"The Jobs Fair provides an ideal platform for job seekers to engage with a wide array of employers and for businesses to showcase their vacancies to a large pool of potential employees," said Spillane.
He noted that many businesses in the region are currently facing recruitment challenges and that the Jobs Fair offers a valuable opportunity to connect with potential employees and fill open positions.
The event will be open to the public from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, with no prior registration required for job seekers. Workshops will run concurrently throughout the event, commencing at 10:45 am. Job seekers are encouraged to bring copies of their CVs to the event.
