Preparing for Your Visit

Jobseekers in Belfast have a significant opportunity to connect with over 70 employers and training providers during a city-wide recruitment event on Wednesday, 24 June 2026. Hosted by the Belfast City Council and the Belfast Labour Market Partnership, the fair will be held at St George’s Market from 11:00 to 14:00. This event is free to attend, and no prior registration is required for entry.

Event Logistics and Accessibility

To ensure a smooth experience for all attendees, the event will be held at the iconic St George’s Market. Visitors should plan to use the Oxford Street entrance to access the venue.

For those who may find large crowds or high noise levels challenging, the organisers have implemented a dedicated ‘quiet time’ session. This will run from 10:30 to 11:00, allowing attendees to engage with exhibitors in a calmer, less crowded environment before the main event doors officially open to the general public.

What to Expect at the Fair

The fair is designed to cater to a wide range of career stages, from those entering the workforce for the first time to experienced professionals looking to pivot into a new sector. The 70+ exhibitors represent a diverse array of industries, including:

Construction and Transport
Security and Professional Business Services
Health and Social Care
Hospitality and Enterprise

Beyond direct recruitment, the event serves as a hub for career development. Representatives from the council’s Employment Academies will be on-site to discuss tailored training programmes that help participants gain relevant qualifications and build professional confidence. Furthermore, support organisations will be available to provide practical guidance on CV preparation, job application strategies, and interview techniques. There will also be resources available for those interested in starting their own business.

Preparing for Your Visit

Councillor Joe Duffy, Chair of the City Growth and Regeneration Committee, highlighted that the event is a key initiative funded by the Department for Communities as part of the wider Labour Market Partnership strategy. This strategy focuses on creating targeted employment action plans to bridge the gap between skilled individuals and the needs of local businesses.
