Marbella’s Sixth Annual Job Fair Marbella Returns in February
The ‘Feria de Empleo’, also known as the job fair, is set to return to Marbella for the sixth time on 15 February. The event will take place at the Adolfo Suárez Conference Centre in the town. The fair has gained national recognition, attracting approximately 5,000 attendees last year. With 140 stands, 2,000 job opportunities were offered by various companies and an additional 8,000 by the army. The event received a satisfaction rate of nearly 93 percent from participants, according to Marbella’s mayor, Ángeles Muñoz.
Associations and Exhibitors at the Fair
Muñoz announced that associations such as CIT Marbella, REM, Apymem, Apymespa, Andalucía Emprende, CADE, SAE, the Spanish Army, and the Red Cross, among others, will be present at the fair. The event will commence at 9am and conclude at 6pm. The town hall will also be exhibiting, providing information on municipal resources for job searching and conducting presentations on training sessions. These sessions will be held in the Blue Room, and a ‘speech corner’ will be set up for human resources managers from different companies to discuss key aspects they consider when recruiting candidates.
Career Guidance and Preparation
In the weeks leading up to the event, a dedicated team from the town hall will provide career guidance to attendees. The team aims to assist unemployed individuals in the town to be as well prepared as possible, thereby increasing their chances of securing employment.
