Cotton Court regularly hosts jobs and employability events designed to connect local employers with people actively looking for work, training or their next opportunity.
Working alongside employability providers, training organisations and support partners, our events are focused on creating meaningful conversations between employers and candidates, not just footfall for the sake of it.
Whether you are recruiting now or planning ahead, these events can be a practical way to raise awareness of opportunities, meet potential candidates and engage with people who are actively looking to take their next step.
Who are these events for?
We are particularly keen to hear from employers or training companies with genuine recruitment opportunities over the coming weeks and months.
This may include businesses in sectors such as:
- Customer service
- Administration
- Warehousing and logistics
- Manufacturing
- Construction and trades
- Health and social care
- Hospitality
- Retail
- Sales
- Security
- Transport
- Apprenticeship providers
- Training organisations with direct progression routes into work
If your sector is not listed, we would still be happy to hear from you.
What makes our events different?
Our approach is focused on quality conversations and relevant connections.
Depending on the event format, we often work with employability and support partners to help ensure attendees are prepared, engaged and actively looking for opportunities.
Feedback from previous events has highlighted:
- Strong engagement from attendees
- Meaningful conversations between employers and candidates
- Good quality footfall
- Opportunities to connect with local support organisations and training providers
- A well-organised, welcoming event environment
