City Jobs celebrating success on its 1st birthday

26 October 2011

City Jobs, City College Brighton and Hove’s dedicated service that matches local employers with local, work-ready employees, is celebrating a highly successful first year in partnership with brightonandhovejobs.com with a business breakfast event on the 15th November. The event is being hosted by City Business Club, the College’s business networking club, from 7.30am to 10.00am at The Gallery restaurant on Whitecross Street, Brighton. Attendance at the event, which includes a full English breakfast and inspirational guest speakers from brightonandhovejobs.com and Sussex Cricket Club, costs £12.

Since the service started, 29% of students coming through programmes for the unemployed (272 students in total) have found employment since working with City Jobs and the service has been working with local businesses such as Sussex Cricket Club, Brighton Pier and Azure Catering at the Amex Stadium to help them with busy recruitment periods, thereby supporting local businesses and helping students find seasonal work. Also, the establishment of a weekly ‘work club’ for local residents has been supporting local people to find work and improve their employability skills.

"We’ve really enjoyed our partnership with City Jobs; they’re a great team. They provide a great service for both students and local businesses alike and I recommend that students take the time to meet them to gain valuable advice on how to start a successful career in Brighton."
