Angus MacDonald and Michael Matheson have invited a cross-section of representatives from public and private enterprise, along with the voluntary sector, to Forth Valley College Falkirk Campus on Monday, April 24.

They want to highlight some of the education, training, apprenticeship and employment vacancies on offer in the local area and beyond.

Mr MacDonald, Falkirk East MSP, said: “As well as assisting with valuable advice, the event will give organisations and businesses the chance to network and is an opportunity to make links with other organisations in local communities.”

Mr Matheson, Falkirk West MSP, added: “We believe events like this can make a real difference to the employment prospects of people right across Falkirk district.”

The fayre runs from 10am to 4pm in the main hall of the FVC campus.
