A HSE Health and Social Care Recruitment and Education Fair, the first of its kind, took place in Buncrana on Tuesday.
The fair showcased numerous opportunities that were available within the HSE locally from entry level positions to more professional roles.
It also presented the various educational and training pathways which were available for people to get into the growing health and social care sector in Inishowen.
The fair, which was run by Inishowen Development Partnership in collaboration with the HSE, featured representatives from the home help sector, social work, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics and much more.
Attendees also had the chance to hear first-hand from experienced HSE employees.
Senior students from Inishowen’s five secondary schools had also been in attendance to inform them of educational possibilities and to hear about the various career options ahead of key UCAS and CAO deadlines.
