Councillor Peter Smith, Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development, said: “I am delighted that the careers fair was such a success. Here at the council, we are dedicated to offering local students and job seekers a range of opportunities, help and guidance to help them take the right steps towards a bright successful future.’

It was sponsored by Ashcroft Care Services and West Sussex County Council.

An Ashcroft spokesman said: “This was a spectacular event, and an event we were very proud to sponsor and be part of. It was great to meet the students and talk with them about their career aspirations and their topics of interest.

“This event was a wonderful opportunity to network with other local companies and be involved in a community project.

“In addition to this, in our own pursuit to seek great quality candidates with fantastic values, this was Ashcroft’s opportunity to speak with candidates interested in employment opportunities and/or work experience.

“We look forward to the next event.”
