Ms De Piero said: “With confirmation that all 50 stalls and stands have been booked up, we are now expecting a bumper turn-out from residents who are eager to get back into work or looking for a career change.

“Last year’s event attracted over 900 people on the day and the one on Friday promises to be just as big.”

A small number of support organisations will also be on hand to provide expert career guidance and advice and the event is free to attend.
