Taking place from 2nd-6th September 2024 is the first ever Renfrewshire Employability Week, facilitated by the Renfrewshire Local Employability Partnership, it brings together Renfrewshire Council with a range of partners and local businesses to support people to access new careers, identify job vacancies and obtain new skills to help them progress into work or climb the ladder.

There will be more than 20 free events taking place across the week, including:

• Open days with Malcolm and McTaggart Construction to gain an insight into careers in the logistics and construction industries
• Site visits with GRAHAM and Morrisons Construction to the new Renfrew Bridge and Paisley Grammar School and Community Campus respectively
• Open event with a range of public sector partners to promote career and job opportunities
• Various events across the area supporting people to enter the care sector
• Retail jobs fair ahead of the festive season
• Support and guidance to enter self-employment
• Opportunities to volunteer for skills development and career progression

Outside of events open to the public, schools have been invited to a range of activities, including sessions at the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) to promote careers in advanced manufacturing and life and chemical science.

The Renfrewshire Employability Conference will bring hundreds of professionals together to review the local economy in Renfrewshire and identify how partners, businesses and the public sector can make a positive difference in the short, medium and long-term.

This is just a small insight to all that is going on across the week and we would appreciate your support in promoting it across Renfrewshire and via your channels.
