A MAN from Colwyn Bay who found his dream job after being made redundant is encouraging others to take advantage of the free career coaching and financial support for training available to people in Wales.

David Burnell, 63, is now working in a new role for a luxury golf travel company after being made redundant earlier this year.

He credits his success to the ReAct+ programme, which provided him with free careers advice and a ?1,500 grant to go on a training course to expand his skillset.

The ReAct+ programme, which is funded by Welsh Government, provides people who have been made redundant or are at risk of redundancy with a personalised package of support to meet their individual needs.

David SAID: ?I?ve always loved working on websites, and I?d built up my skills since the early ?90s, but up to now I?ve had a sense of ?imposter syndrome? and sometimes doubted my own skills.

?I was feeling worried about the prospect of having to find a new job given my age and whether younger candidates might have an edge on the latest technology and qualifications.

THE leading employment and training event in North Wales is back and bigger than ever before.

Businesses, skills organisations, educators, charities, and individuals wanting to exhibit at this year?s Conwy Job Expo are urged to do so fast.

The free exhibition will again be held at Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay and following the success of last spring ? when up to 500 school and college students were in attendance ? it has been opened-up to people of all ages.

In partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and supported by Creating Enterprise, Conwy Business Support, and Working Wales, which is delivered by Careers Wales, the Expo will be held on Thursday, February 22 from 1pm to 5pm.

Libby Duo, strategic manager for Conwy Employment Hub, hopes to see even more organisations at the venue than in 2023, when more than 80 signed up.

?We have had a very positive response so far and spaces are filling fast,? she said.

?As well as pupils from schools across the region ? many of whom are still undecided on their future career ? this will be an opportunity for people in jobs who are looking for a new direction, or anyone seeking employment, to explore what opportunities are out there in multiple industries.?

The Barn, at Eirias Events Centre, will be divided into sections for exhibitors, education and training and demonstrations.

Jane Cook, the DWP?s employer and partnership manager for Conwy, added: ?The expo is aimed at anyone wanting a fresh start, or looking to take the next step in their education or working life.

?This event will bring some of the region?s top organisations and businesses under one roof ? as well as representatives from the public sector ? and provide them with a platform to attract their employees of the future.

?It?s also a chance for networking, to conduct initial interviews, and to demonstrate what apprenticeships, work placement and voluntary roles are out there on the market.?

Among the employers taking space at the last exhibition in 2023 were Adra, Conwy Mind, Zip World, North Wales Police, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

More than 80 per cent of those surveyed lauded the programme of activities and organisation on the day, describing it as ?one of the best career events we have attended in a long while?.

update on above............

MORE than 1,000 people flocked to one of the biggest employment exhibitions North Wales has seen.

The third annual Conwy Job Expo brought together in excess of 1,110 attendees with up to 90 leading organisations at The Barn, Eirias Events Centre, Colwyn Bay.

It exceeded all expectations, shining a light on career opportunities and securing permanent and temporary positions for many candidates.

Among those in attendance were Abergele?s Manorafon Farm Park, North Wales Police, Llandudno Pier, British Army Careers Centre, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

?The feedback we?ve had has been positive, particularly as a lot of the companies had vacancies and were able to pre-interview candidates, which was great from both sides.

?The workshops we held at Jobcentre Plus in advance of the expo helped job seekers prepare for this important event with top tips on how to stand out to exhibitors and increase their chances of success in finding their dream job.

?This proved invaluable, with many also taking up the follow up one-to-one support with CV and job applications, so that?s something we will look to do again in the future.

?Thanks so much to everyone who came along on the day, notably the exhibitors who showcased the amazing careers available right on our doorstep.?

Jane Cook, the DWP's employer and partnership manager for Conwy, added: ?What makes Conwy Job Expo so special is the very real opportunities that are out there, and the platform prospective candidates had to discover so many different sectors, and discuss with top employers whether it?s a career for them.

?The results spoke for themselves, both in the number of people who attended, and the successful links built between recruiters, educators, and private and public sector organisations.

?Once again, thanks so much to everyone who came along to this year?s event, it was a fantastic day.?

EMPLOYERS will benefit from a new recruitment programme that guarantees candidates will be suitable for the jobs they are advertising.

Conwy Employment Hub?s Guaranteed Interview Scheme is designed to build confidence among jobseekers and streamline the application process for companies looking to hire staff.

Those already signed up to the hub?s employment and training services can capitalise on the initiative, and they are hoping more private and public sector organisations will join them.

Among those already registered are Llandudno Pier, Alpine Coaches, Conwy County Borough Council, and hotels in Llandudno including The Imperial and St George?s.

Clare Kingscott, employer engagement officer with Conwy Employment Hub, revealed a successful pilot of the scheme led to it being rolled out further.

?We have had so much positive feedback, this is a fantastic opportunity for jobseekers and HR teams across the county,? said Clare.

?We have offered a bespoke service for local employers for some time, but this takes it to the next level and will really enhance their recruitment processes.

?This scheme attracts more candidates and widens the pool of candidates we can place in front of the recruiting business or organisation, but they will have been pre-screened by us, so only applicants who match up with the position will be put forward for interview.

?We already have some top local companies on board from a variety of industries, so the scheme is off to a flying start.

?It?s a fantastic initiative, especially for employers, so we are encouraging as many as possible to get in touch and take advantage of this opportunity, no matter how big or small your business or organisation is.

?This is a free service, and we want as many people as possible to benefit from it.?

The move follows the hub?s successful Conwy Job Expo, which welcomed more than 80 employers and in excess of 1,100 jobseekers to Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay earlier this year.
