AMBITIOUS residents can explore how to further their careers at a job fair being planned for September.

The Centre in South Oxhey will host the event, which will be open to local people of all ages.

Local employers, training providers and leisure organisations will be on-hand to talk about what is on offer in the area for both work and leisure time.

The Ambitions event has been organised in partnership between Three Rivers District Council and Watford Jobcentre.

Council chairman Harry Davies will attend the event.

He said: "We are encouraging all residents in South Oxhey and the surrounding areas to come along to Ambitions and find out more about the opportunities available in the area.

"There is plenty on offer and we are delighted to be supporting the South Oxhey community through this event."

Margaret Sheikh, from Jobcentre Plus, said: "We will be on hand to offer information on the local jobs available, plus specialist advisers will be there to talk to lone parents about returning to work, including advice on extra benefits that they may be entitled to."

Ambitions will be held at The Centre, Gosforth Lane, South Oxhey on Thursday, September 8, from 11am to 4pm.
