Business Breakfast: Harrogate College event links employers with students
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
Harrogate College is holding an event that gives businesses the chance to talk to customer service-trained students about part-time work that fits around their studies.
The college's employer network recruitment fair enables Harrogate district firms the opportunity to come into college and speak to students directly.
Each business can approach the recruitment fair in its own way: it can conduct an interview and offer work that day, or share information about the business before inviting students for a formal interview at the place of work.
The free event takes place at the college, on Hornbeam Park, on November 2 from 11am to 1.30pm. Tickets can be booked here.
