Dublin Expo To Serve-Up 300 Western Jobs
The Western Development Commission is expected to layout over 300 jobs at a Dublin expo later this week.
The commission's website - Lookwest.ie - will host the event at the Alexander Hotel on Thursday.
The expo will offer-up opportunities to those who wish to relocate from the greater Dublin area to the western region to live, work and do business.
Over 500 people sampled last year's exhibit, which provided job prospects in Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Roscommon and Clare.
Commenting on the Dublin LookWest.ie Expo, WDC chief executive Gillian Buckley, said: "We have continuously tracked those who have registered with us and we know that over 50% are aged between 26 and 35, 92% have third level qualifications, three quarters have over five years work experience, but most importantly, they want to move West.
"We can show this research to new and expanding companies who are thinking of moving to the western region, demonstrating that we have a ready, willing and able workforce for them."
