Glenkens residents of all ages visited Dalry School for the Skills and Jobs Fair on 30th September 2025, with at least one potential job offer being made, and feedback from attendees was very positive; all of the respondents said that they would like to see the fair return as a regular event.
The events was funded by a grant from DGWorks, the Local Employability Partnership, from their No One Left Behind grant scheme, which aims to ‘deliver a system that is more tailored and responsive to the needs of people of all ages, especially those who are disadvantaged in the labour market’.
The grant was allocated to the Glenkens Community and Arts Trust (GCAT), to work in partnership with the Glenkens Community Action Plan Steering Group and Dalry School Parent Council in order to create and promote an event which showcases the breadth of opportunity for employment, training and employability support in the area.
