Jobseekers and career changers are being invited to attend an Employability Day packed with advice and opportunities.

Hosted by Work EastRen, the event will take place  on Friday, June 19 from 9.30am to 12.30pm at its Lowndes Street office in Barrhead. 

It promises to deliver expert support for anyone considering their next step into employment, training, or skills development.



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.



Each organisation will be available to answer questions and provide tailored information.

Employment opportunities within East Renfrewshire Council services will also be showcased.

The council’s facilities management team will be present to discuss roles, and HR staff will be available to explain the application process for council positions.

Enjoy EastRen will also promote its new lifeguard course for those interested in a career in leisure services.

The drop-in event is open to anyone regardless of work experience or career background, whether entering the workforce for the first time, seeking a change in direction, or returning after a break.
