Employers reported a great turn out of eager job seekers and are very hopeful of filling their vacancies soon, while training agencies reported a great interest in their stands. Employers also mentioned the wonderful networking opportunities available on the day, the energy was high and businesses could engage with other businesses, an opportunity that was very welcome since lockdown restrictions came to a close.
