A major jobs fair, which will be open to jobseekers and employers, will take place in Killarney on Wednesday, May 25.

The event, to be held in the Great Southern Killarney from 10.30am to 2pm, is being organised by the Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce in conjunction with the South Kerry Development Partnership (SKDP).

Information on a huge variety of full-time, part-time, seasonal and remote jobs will be available on the day and it will give job hunters an opportunity to connect with employers from many industries and sectors.

Those attending that are currently in search of work or seeking a new beginning are encouraged to bring an up-to-date curriculum vitae with them on the day.

Employers can exhibit free of charge at the event but they will need to register in advance to secure their space. They can do so by emailing event@killarney.ie or jgriffin@skdp.net before the close of business on Friday, May 20.

Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce President, Niall Kelleher, said the business community is very excited about the South Kerry Jobs Fair which will put jobseekers and employers in touch with each other.

“This event could well provide the opportunity many people are waiting for and we extend an open invitation to everybody to attend on the day,” he said.
