Buncrana Job Fair Success- the People 1st team in Buncrana recently hosted a fantastic Job Fair at the Inishowen Gateway Hotel, drawing strong attendance from employers, jobseekers and community partners across the region. The event was a true example of teamwork, professionalism and local collaboration — and a real success story for the Buncrana branch.
Buncrana Job Fair Success- A Well-Delivered Event
The Job Fair, which took place across two busy sessions, was organised and delivered to an exceptionally high standard. A huge well done goes to the Buncrana team — Emmet, Margaret, and especially Lisa — whose preparation, enthusiasm and commitment made the event such a success.
Lisa dedicated significant time to creating and delivering a polished presentation for attendees, receiving excellent feedback from employers and jobseekers alike. Alongside Emmet, she also worked tirelessly in the lead-up to the event, engaging employers, coordinating logistics and ensuring that clients were supported to attend — something clearly reflected in the strong turnout on the day.
Support From Across the People 1st Network at the Buncrana Job Fair
Events like this don’t happen without teamwork, and the support from across the wider People 1st family played a key role:
- Majida ensured the Buncrana office remained fully covered throughout the event
- Oleksandra supported attendees with translation where needed
- Gillian Kearney travelled down to provide excellent Apprenticeships support
- Stephen Quigley, a former People 1st employee, attended in his role representing KSK Rathmor Engineering & Recruitment, strengthening the employer presence and bringing valued industry insight
The combination of staff commitment, operational support and employer engagement helped create a welcoming and productive environment for everyone who attended.
Strong Employer Engagement and Promising Outcomes– Buncrana Job Fair Success
The Job Fair brought together a diverse mix of local employers actively looking to recruit. Thanks to the combined efforts of Lisa and Emmet, the sessions were well attended by motivated jobseekers ready to explore opportunities and take the next step towards employment.
The Buncrana team will now be focusing on follow-up support, helping clients apply for roles, prepare for interviews and progress into real job opportunities. Early signs are extremely positive, and we are hopeful that a number of successful job outcomes will emerge from the event.
A Celebration of Teamwork in Action
A huge congratulations to the entire Buncrana team for delivering such a valuable and impactful event. Their commitment to supporting clients, engaging employers and representing People 1st with professionalism and care is truly appreciated.
As Glenn always says:
“Team Work Makes the Dream Work.”
And the Buncrana Job Fair success is proof of exactly that.
Thank you also to the team at the Inishowen Gateway Hotel
