JOB seekers with an interest in the digital and technical sectors are invited to attend a virtual jobs fair. The Heart of the South West LEP (HotSW LEP) Digital Skills Partnership will hold a virtual jobs fair on May 26 to connect hundreds of skilled digital and technical learners with employers in the south west. The Train4Tomrrow jobs fair will give adults in Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Plymouth, Somerset and Torbay the chance to connect with employers from sectors including cyber, data science, digital healthcare, software, digital marketing and construction. Charlotte Collyer, Digital Skills Partnership manager at HotSW LEP, said: Digital and technical employers are invited to attend the jobs fair to showcase their business to hundreds of newly trained learners and to access the new talent which has been developed in the region.
More than 3,000 calls were made to the RSPCA between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day as the charity copes with increased demand during the ongoing pandemic.
The latest figures are a slight drop compared to last year (23%), but officers have felt the strain during the busy period amid the
COVID-19 crisis, taking 44,748 calls between 1 and 27 December.
