MP hosts second High Peak Careers, Skills and Jobs Fair

Following the huge success of April’s inaugural event in Buxton, Jon Pearce MP is to host High Peak’s Second Careers, Skills & Jobs Fair in Glossop this Friday (10th October).

The fair will run 10:00am-1:00pm at Glossop Cricket & Bowling Club, North Road Glossop, SK13 7AS. A dedicated Neurodiverse Hour (10:00am-11:00am) will provide a quieter, more relaxed environment for attendees who prefer it.

More than 45 exhibitors are confirmed, representing local, national and international businesses, trainers and organisations - including Google, Street Crane, Manchester Airport, the Army, and the NHS - alongside colleges, skills providers and community organisations.

Visitors can:

  • Meet employers and training providers with real vacancies and courses
  • Get advice on CVs, interviews and career pathways
  • Learn about apprenticeships, re-training and upskilling options

Jon Pearce MP said:

“I’m thrilled to be bringing our Careers, Skills & Jobs Fair to Glossop. With over 45 exhibitors - from world-leading names like Google and Manchester Airport to brilliant local employers like Street Crane and local colleges - there will be opportunities for everyone. Whether you’re starting out, changing direction, or returning to work, come along, have conversations and see what’s possible right here in the High Peak.”

The event is free to attend and open to all. For full details visit: jon4highpeak.com/highpeakjobsfair
