A skills event aimed at encouraging both students and other Marsh residents to seek training and career opportunities is making a welcome return.

The third annual Romney Marsh Inspires will again take place at The Marsh Academy (TN28 8BB) – this time on Tuesday 26 March between 10am and 4.15pm.

Folkestone & Hythe District Council, The Education People, The Romney Marsh Partnership, Lighthouse on the Marsh and The Marsh Academy are all continuing a successful collaboration, uniting to help support the future workforce.

A wide range of training providers and career advisors will be in attendance with workshops, interactive activities and talks from organisations including the NHS, Digital Kent, Kent Fire and Rescue Service and Border Force.

Cllr Rich Holgate – Cabinet Member for Place Plan, Heritage, Tourism and District Economy – said: “This year’s event promises to showcase the extraordinary range of career prospects open to many people living in our community.

“It is especially important to promote local job and skills opportunities available to residents living in hard-to-reach areas, as well as those who may be looking to build a future in our district.”
