More than 100 roles are going to be on offer at a job fair hosted in one of Glasgow’s largest shopping centres.
Major retailers and food chains including Primark Wagamama, and Zara will be joining other local organisations at the Glasgow Fort’s jobs fair.
The annual event will be taking place on Thursday 26 September.
It will take place at the outdoor shopping centre’s skill and community hub, which is based next to Customer Services.
The job fair will run between 10am and 4:40pm, with more than 100 full-time, part-time and seasonal roles available.
Retailers and restaurants will have representatives attending to discuss the opportunities and provide more information for potential applicants.

Phil Goodman, centre director at Glasgow Fort, said: “The jobs fair is always one of the highlights of the year, and it’s brilliant to have so many retailers and organisations involved in this year’s event – including Primark which will be joining us soon.
“As a big employer in the region, we’re always looking to support even more of our local community into work and we’d encourage anyone looking for a fresh opportunity or career advice to come down, meet the retailers and speak to a member of the FARE team to find out about the amazing work they do.”
Other retailers located at Glasgow Fort include M&S, River Island, H&M, Next and Schuh. There is also a Vue cinema and an array of restaurants including Nando’s, Bread Meats Bread, and Fridays.
The event is part of Glasgow Fort’s long-term partnership with Easterhouse-based charity FARE Scotland, as part of its free employability programme for young people in the community, which is based at the centre.
The programme supports individuals with finding work placements and accessing relevant training, including Scottish Qualification Authority certified courses such as first aid and health and safety.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
