Job seekers in Inverness have the chance to connect with local employers at the annual UHI Inverness Part-Time Jobs Fair on Wednesday, 13 November, from 10am to 2pm—a perfect opportunity for students and the public to explore flexible work that fits their schedules.
The event, held in the bustling atrium of the UHI Inverness campus, will bring together job-seekers with local businesses offering part-time roles across a range of sectors, from retail and hospitality to care work, all tailored to meet the growing demand for adaptable, part-time employment.
This year’s fair is coordinated by the UHI Inverness Student Support Team, who aim to provide an easy way for attendees to browse current job openings, discover new career pathways, and gain insights into courses that could support their long-term goals.
Laurie Symon, a Personal Development Advisor at UHI Inverness, believes the fair is a valuable resource for students and local job seekers, as it provides not only job opportunities but a space to engage directly with potential employers and learn about the skills needed for each role.
Symon highlights the benefits of the event, saying:
“By spotlighting part-time job opportunities and encouraging interaction with employers, we aim to support our students, the community, and various sectors needing staff, such as business, retail, care, and hospitality.”
The fair’s open-door policy means anyone interested can attend, making it an ideal venue for people to explore work options, enhance their employability, and discover the advantages of combining study with practical work experience.
For students, taking on part-time work can offer a host of benefits, from earning additional income and learning time management to gaining essential interpersonal skills and confidence that will serve them in future careers.
On hand at the fair, employers will be available to discuss their companies, provide insight into available roles, and outline the recruitment processes, giving job-seekers a better understanding of what it takes to join their teams.
With the job fair timed perfectly ahead of the busy holiday season, UHI Inverness is offering a resourceful link for students, residents, and employers alike, hoping to foster a mutually beneficial environment of learning and growth.
