“I want to do all I can to help everyone right across the constituency into work": MP hosts jobs fair in Rugby
A jobs fair is being held at Rugby Indian Association to help people who are struggling to find work or re-enter work.
It’s being hosted by Rugby MP John Slinger, in partnership with the JobCentrePlus, and takes place from 10am-1pm on Thursday, April 16.
He said it’s a great opportunity for people to engage with employers directly, scope out new work opportunities and learn what employers are looking for.
John advertised his event in Parliament asking ministers in the Department for Work and Pensions if they would like to attend.
He said: “I want to do all I can to help everyone right across the constituency into work, I am after all a Labour MP – the party of work.
“But we are also the party that looks after people when they are still searching and one of my primary missions as MP is to help people in the Rugby constituency, who are struggling to find work, to re-enter work and I will do all I can to support them.
“I hope this jobs fair will benefit the people of Rugby, I am working hard to ensure that everyone can access secure and well-paid employment and continuing the Government’s mission to drive down rates of unemployment.
“The Labour government is committed to providing the support people need to get into work, or back into work. I commend the local JobCentrePlus in Rugby which works innovatively to provide support to people.
"That’s why I’m glad to be working with them on this jobs fair and I encourage as many people and businesses to attend as possible.”
