Sectors and recruitment opportunities

The Belfast Job Fair features a diverse range of exhibitors actively recruiting for current vacancies. Attendees can engage directly with representatives from key industries, including construction, transport, security, health and social care, hospitality, and professional business services.

Beyond direct employment, the council’s Employment Academies will be on-site to provide details on tailored training programmes. These initiatives are specifically designed to help residents gain industry-recognised qualifications, build professional confidence, and navigate the transition into new roles. This event is funded by the Department for Communities, serving as a central hub for the city’s targeted employment action plans and fostering collaboration between local businesses and the regional workforce.

Preparing for the fair

To make the most of your time at St George’s Market, it is helpful to arrive prepared. Support organisations will be present throughout the venue to offer practical guidance on your job search strategy. Experts will be on hand to assist with:

CV Preparation: Refining your document to highlight relevant skills.
Application Techniques: Tips for standing out in competitive recruitment processes.
Interview Practice: Guidance on how to prepare for and succeed in interviews.
Enterprise Pathways: Advice for those interested in starting their own business.

Accessibility and event logistics

To ensure the environment is accessible for all attendees, organisers are implementing a ‘quiet time’ session from 10:30 to 11:00. This period is intended for jobseekers who prefer to navigate the fair with reduced noise and lower crowd density.

Visitors should note that entry to the market will be via the Oxford Street entrance. As a high-traffic event, attendees are encouraged to plan their arrival time accordingly. For those seeking further details on the specific employers attending or additional resources, information is available via the official Belfast City Council website.
