News on Morley Town Deal

The Morley Jobs Fair was held on Thursday 5 October 2023 at Morley Town Hall with 20 exhibitors and over 300 visitors throughout the day. The aim of the event was to provide short and long-term job and career opportunities for the residents of Morley and Leeds facilitated by Leeds City Council Employment and Skills and the Morley Town Deal teams. The job roles on offer included retail roles, support/ outreach workers, care settings, warehouse, cleaning, security, maintenance and hospitality.

In addition, Leeds City Council Employment and Skills advisors offered support on the day with interview techniques, job applications, apprenticeships and careers advice. Morley Town Deal officers and Board Members were also present at the event along with the Ahead Partnership who were promoting the Growing Talent Morley programme and had some good opportunities to network with Morley employers and recruit some new potential volunteers.

Feedback was very positive from visitors:

"Really interesting to find out what jobs are in my area as was looking for a Saturday job as I'm in my sixties."

"I got help with interviews and CVs today, so the support is there!"

"Really good positive conversations, I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life."
