Hundreds of careers are set for take-off at Manchester Airport’s autumn jobs fair early next month, and tickets for the free-of-charge event are now available online.
The jobs fair will run from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday 5 November at Wythenshawe Forum. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about a career at the airport by speaking to employers operating on-site. More than 500 roles will be advertised at the event, with more than 20 employers represented.
Manchester Airports Group (MAG), which owns and operates Manchester Airport as well as East Midlands and London Stansted Airports, is promoting vacancies in Hospitality, Car Parks and Bussing.
Other employers who will be represented at the fair include retailers and franchise operators, including Fever Tree, JD Wetherspoon and Airport Retail Enterprises, as well as airport service providers, including Dnata, Mitie and AES, the engineering delivery partner for Ryanair. The Airport Academy, which is run in partnership by Manchester Airport and Trafford & Stockport College Group, will also be in attendance promoting its free pre-employment support programmes. These include fully accredited training schemes for those who are on Jobseekers’ Allowance and require additional support before applying for the jobs.
Marcella M’Rabety, Head of Social Sustainability at Manchester Airport, said: “We are excited to be hosting our autumn jobs fair at Wythenshawe Forum, giving people in communities surrounding the airport and beyond an opportunity to find out more about the varied career paths on offer in aviation. We are proud of our role in serving those communities, not just by connecting them to the places they want to fly to, but also by creating opportunities for local people and ensuring communities share in our success.
“Now is a great time to start a career here, as we come to the end of our £1.3bn, 10-year transformation programme, creating world-class facilities that will help the airport fulfil its potential as a global gateway for the North.”
