Councillor Danny Devlin, environment and housing convener, said: "This event is about making employability support accessible, bringing together multiple services in one place to help residents take practical steps towards their goals.
"Visitors can drop in on the day to explore opportunities, gain insights from professionals and make connections that could support their journey into work or further training.
"So, I’d encourage anyone interested to come along on the day."
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with one-to-one advisors from Work EastRen, who will offer guidance on job searching, CV writing, interview preparation and training pathways.
East Renfrewshire’s Local Employability Partners will also be in attendance.
The event will include representatives from a range of partner organisations, including Skills Development Scotland, Values Into Action Scotland, Enable, the Scottish Association for Mental Health, Recovery Across Mental Health, Voluntary Action, the Job Centre and East Renfrewshire Citizens Advice.
