DurhamWorks is a partnership between Durham County Council and six organisations and supports 16 to 24-year-olds in County Durham, who are not in education, employment, or training.
Helen Radcliffe, external programme manager for DurhamWorks, said: “We and our partners will be ready and waiting to assist unemployed young people in North Durham to find jobs, training and education. If you are lacking confidence or unsure how to go about finding a job, we can help.”
Free tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits will be available throughout the event and attendees will be placed into a prize draw to win a £50 shopping voucher. Bus fares will also be reimbursed.
