Job Scene The Roadshow presented by the South Wales Argus, a brand new jobs, careers and training event will make its debut at the Newport Centre, Newport on 18 March 2004.

As the region's number one newspaper for job hunters, the South Wales Argus has combined forces with exhibitions organiser TJW Exhibitions to bring the national series of Job Scene to the city.

By uniting job and training seekers with exhibitors in one place at one time, the Roadshow is a cost-effective and efficient means for employers and training providers to fill vacancies as well as raise their profile in the community.

Through a comprehensive marketing and PR campaign supported by the South Wales Argus, professionals, career changers, returners to work, the unemployed and school and college leavers will be attracted to visit to see what opportunities are available to them.

Visitors often bring their Curriculum Vitae with them and employers can recruit on-site, arrange post-event interviews and create a bank of CVs to fill future vacancies.

Nina Hurst-Jones, Project Manager of organiser TJW Exhibitions explained why Job Scene The Roadshow is such an important date for employers and training providers looking to recruit.

"We organise Roadshows all across the UK are delighted to be working with the South Wales Argus in coming to Newport next year," said Nina.

"The Roadshow series has built up an excellent reputation of putting exhibitors recruitment needs first and ensuring we organise a quality careers exhibition that meets and hopefully exceeds those needs. In fact, we are proud to announce that we were the first exhibition company to be awarded Institute of Customer Service status."

The Roadshow is supported by Careers Wales, Jobcentre Plus and ELWa.

The series visits major towns and cities throughout the country including Reading, Southampton, Glasgow, Coventry, Middlesbrough and Basingstoke.
