“Next chapter” for Leeds digital job fair
The Leeds Digital Job Fair will return in just under two weeks, with major companies including Morrisons, Hitachi and Crisp signed up.
Sky Betting & Gaming, Barclays, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, NHS Digital and Northcoders have also been confirmed for the event at the First Direct Arena on 28 April.
Around 2,000 people and 46 companies attended Leeds Digital Job Fair 2.0 last October, and it is looking to break records this time around.
Sky Betting & Gaming chief executive Richard Flint said: “Leeds Digital Jobs Fair is a great way for the city to showcase the range of amazing tech job opportunities that are available here.
“As the city continues to develop a reputation for its fast growing digital sector we believe the fair can help demonstrate just why it is such a great city to build a career in.
“We’re looking forward to highlighting some of the exciting roles we have from across Sky Betting & Gaming.”
In a major coup for organisers Herd, debut exhibitor Barclays will also arrive with an impressive range of jobs for the right candidates.
Herd founder Amy De-Balsi, who has once again masterminded Leeds Digital Job Fair 3.0, said: “We set the bar very high when we staged the first Leeds Digital Job Fair and I am grateful to LeedsBID, Leeds City Council, Leeds Beckett University and the First Direct Arena for their continued support as we make final preparations for Leeds Digital Job Fair 3.0.
“Our success is evidenced by the quality of exhibitors who keep coming back, as well as the many leading-edge businesses that will be joining us for the first time on 28 April.
“There are a limited number of exhibition spaces still available but time is clearly running short.
“Students, graduates and tech professionals seeking a career change are invited to book their tickets for free, as many hundreds have already done.
“I have no doubt that it will be a remarkable day with a vast array of opportunities for career advancement in digital and tech there for the taking.
“The Leeds digital and tech success story is being written at a remarkable pace. Leeds Digital Job Fair 3.0 will start the next exhilarating chapter.”
