On March 21 a second event will be hosted by the Whistledown Hotel, Warrenpoint, and will focus on those interested in exploring a career in Hospitality and Tourism. 

Both sessions will feature conversations with successful local businesses in each sector and will explore case studies of their growth and key successes, the skills and qualifications needed to succeed in the industry, and will also share up to date information on job and apprenticeship opportunities.

Both events are free to attend and are open to school leavers; job seekers; restarters and returners; local businesses; and those considering starting a new business.

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Cllr Valerie Harte said, “We believe it’s critical for local job seekers to engage directly with businesses who are successful in this sector, to learn, aspire and gain awareness of the range of career opportunities available locally, in addition to understanding the various pathways to access jobs. 

“It is our hope, that these kind of events - coupled with Newry Mourne and Down Labour Market Partnership’s suite of ongoing programs - offers residents the best opportunity to access work and upskill for work, whilst promoting NMD as a great place to live and work”, Cllr Harte concluded.
