Welsh speakers are being invited to discover new career opportunities with Coleg Cambria at a dedicated bilingual recruitment event at its Deeside campus this summer.
The event, Gyrfa Gymraeg @ Cambria, takes place on Tuesday July 21 from 4.30pm to 6pm and will offer a relaxed and informal opportunity to meet staff, learn more about current vacancies and explore how Welsh language skills can support career development across a range of roles.
Eligible new starters could also receive a £400 welcome bonus as the college continues to grow its bilingual workforce across north east Wales.
The event follows a similar session held at the college's Yale site in Wrexham earlier this year, which attracted prospective applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including education, industry and business.
The college is currently recruiting for a variety of positions, including teaching and assessor roles, learning support opportunities, business support vacancies and specialist positions in areas such as engineering, construction, digital technologies, healthcare and apprenticeships.
Visitors will be able to speak informally with Welsh-speaking colleagues over refreshments, with no formal interviews taking place. The event has been designed to give people a welcoming space to ask questions, build connections and learn more about working at one of Wales's leading further education institutions.
Llinos Roberts, Director of Welsh Language Development at Coleg Cambria, said: “Developing a confident, bilingual workforce is central to our vision.
“This event is about connecting with Welsh-speaking communities and showing how valuable those language skills are in a professional setting. We're committed to supporting staff at every stage of their Welsh language journey and creating more opportunities to use Welsh in the workplace.”
Jack Swift, HR Business Partner at Coleg Cambria, added: “The response to our Wrexham event was fantastic and it generated genuine interest from people looking to take the next step in their careers.
“The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, particularly from those who appreciated the opportunity to have informal conversations with staff and learn more about the opportunities available across the college.
“We're looking forward to bringing that same experience to Deeside and meeting talented Welsh speakers from a wide range of backgrounds and industries.”
The college is particularly keen to hear from professionals in construction, engineering, healthcare, digital and business, including those looking to move into education and gain teaching qualifications while in post.
Coleg Cambria also provides tailored Welsh language development, training for bilingual delivery and incentives for staff who use Welsh in the workplace.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to register in advance; drop-ins on the day are also welcome.
