Job hunters are being given the chance to pick up some tips on finding work at an advice session in Newcastle tomorrow.
The Exploring Employability event aims to give people in the West End the opportunity to meet potential employers and find out about job, training and education options.
Employers lined up to attend the event include Marks & Spencer, Northumbria Police and Asda, as well as local voluntary organisations.
The initiative is a partnership between English for Speakers of Other Languages, Newcastle Employment Action Team and Minority Ethnic Community Support Service.
Lydia Sukumar, an outreach guidance worker for ESOL, said: "We want to give employers the chance to get across what they are looking for in new recruits"
The event is at the Westgate Centre For Sport, on West Road, Newcastle, between 10am and 1pm.
