Following the recent sad news regarding Orchard House Foods in Corby, the Corby JobCentre will be holding a Jobs Fair at the Corby Cube on Thursday 2nd February between 10am and 3pm. A number of employers and work coaches will be in attendance to provide support to those looking for jobs. Having spoken with the DWP locally, I understand that there are a good number of excellent opportunities available and I really would encourage people affected by the recent news to come along and have those conversations. Equally, if you are an employer looking to take on new, first-class work ready candidates, please do get in touch with me and I will gladly facilitate links with the DWP and JobCentre locally to assist you with this. I also just want to thank all those businesses that have been in touch already wanting to play their part and help those affected by these job losses - it shows just how strong our local business community is and your interest and concern is massively appreciated. As I have said before, this is a really regrettable situation, but I am optimistic about the opportunities in our area to get people back into work, with all the right support to do that, particularly given what we are seeing around existing local businesses expanding and new businesses choosing us as the place to invest, in turn bringing new employment opportunities to our area.
