London Stansted has hailed its latest Jobs Fair a success after welcoming 1,500 job seekers to the airport as employers ramp up recruitment ahead of the summer season.
The event, held at the Radisson Blu Hotel on Wednesday 22 April, brought together 30 airport companies and business partners, offering more than 500 job opportunities across roles including customer service, security, retail, hospitality, logistics and airport operations.
Jobseekers were able to meet recruiters throughout the day, with several companies carrying out on-the-spot interviews.
Among the employers represented were MAG Stansted, Emirates, Ryanair, Jet2, SSP, Swissport, UPS and Border Force, giving attendees the chance to learn more about careers at the airport.
Alongside employers, a number of support organisations were also present to provide advice and guidance. These included the Department for Work and Pensions, National Careers Service, Stansted Academy, Harlow College and the Stansted Airport Commuter Centre, offering information on training, career pathways and travel options.
Nathan Mullane, Employment & Skills Manager at London Stansted, said:
“With hundreds of vacancies available, this event played a vital role in connecting local people with careers across the airport. It also highlights our wider commitment to supporting skills, employment and economic growth across the region.”
London Stansted is home to more than 12,000 employees working across 200 on-airport companies, making it the region’s largest single-site employer.
