Mr Matheson, the MSP for Falkirk West, said: “We’re very excited to host our first jobs fayre. We decided to organise the event because we wanted to make a real difference to the employment prospects of local people, so we’re delighted that such a wide range of exhibitors will take part.
“I’d encourage people to come along to explore the exciting variety of employment and training opportunities on offer.”
