A series of free events have been launched to help Denbighshire residents explore career options.

The information sessions, organised by Working Denbighshire, will run from late November through December.

They aim to provide attendees with insights into job roles, career progression, skills, training, and pay.

The events will also cover what employers are looking for in key sectors.

The first event, focusing on forestry and conservation, is scheduled for November 29 from 11.30am to 1pm at the Working Denbighshire Office, Rhyl Library, Church Street.

This will be followed by the social care event on December 2 from 10am to 11am.

The manufacturing session will be held on December 4 from 1pm to 2pm.

The final event, focusing on the hospitality sector, will take place on December 17 from 1pm to 2.30pm.

This will feature guest speaker Sophie from Denbighshire Leisure.

Some sectors will also offer hands-on taster sessions after the information days, allowing attendees to experience the working environment.

The forestry and conservation sector will host its taster on December 5 from 12.30pm to 4pm, with similar sessions to follow.

Councillor Jason McLellan, leader of the council and lead member for economic growth and tackling deprivation, said: "Working Denbighshire’s sector events are a great example of how we’re helping residents connect with rewarding careers.

"These sessions give people direct access to information and industry insights, which is a fantastic way to boost local employment and strengthen our community."

Rachael Sumner-Lewis, employer and training relationship manager for Working Denbighshire, said: "Our sector information events aim to bridge the gap between job seekers and local industries.

"By giving an in-depth look into each sector, we’re supporting them in upskilling, retraining, or just gaining insight into the job market."
