Reading Careers Fair

Held at the centrally located Penta Hotel, the Reading Careers Fair is a key recruitment event for the Thames Valley and beyond. It connects job seekers with hiring organisations across a wide range of industries, including technology, education, healthcare, retail, logistics, and financial services. The fair is suitable for anyone looking to kickstart a career, transition into a new role, or return to work. 

Exhibitors are available throughout the day to discuss live vacancies and the skills they look for in candidates. Visitors are encouraged to bring printed CVs and engage directly with HR teams and hiring managers. From entry-level positions to professional development roles, there are job openings for people at all stages of their employment journey. 

The event also features job search workshops, career coaching clinics, and opportunities for networking. Local colleges and training organisations provide guidance on apprenticeships, adult learning, and upskilling options. The fair fosters a positive and proactive environment where attendees can learn how to tailor their applications, improve their interview techniques, and build confidence for the next step in their careers. 

In addition to direct recruitment opportunities, the Reading Careers Fair provides tailored advice on navigating the local job market. Career advisers are present to offer personal consultations, while local government representatives provide details on funding for training and pathways into high-growth sectors. Whether you're interested in full-time employment, part-time roles, or flexible working, this fair offers a valuable chance to understand employer expectations and make a solid plan for the future.
