Midlands Career Expo is this Saturday

The Midlands Career Expo this Saturday, September 23, at Mullingar Park Hotel, aims to inspire and motivate job seekers and in the midlands.

The 50 exhibitors will be offering a range of job opportunities, and there will be talks, and one-on-one sessions with experts.

The line-up of guest speakers includes Dr Norah Patten and Niall (Bressie) Breslin.

Dr Patten, an Irish aeronautical engineer and award-winning STEM advocate, is the keynote speaker at the expo, sponsored by Robotics and Drives. Her achievements in the field of aeronautical engineering and contributions to space exploration have made her a role model for aspiring scientists and engineers.

Dr Patten is committed to promoting the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education among young learners.

Bressie is a health advocate, public speaker, musician, and author. His talk, ‘Finding Peace in the Chaos of the Modern World’, will share his insights, as a former professional rugby player and best-selling author, on resilience, mental health, and personal growth promise.

“We are delighted to have such prominent speakers, Norah Patten and Bressie at this year’s Midlands Career Expo,” said Allyson English, president Mullingar Chamber. “Norah is a real inspiration for young people, especially young women, thinking about a career in science, technology, engineering or manufacturing. She will definitely inspire and motivate.

“Wellbeing is and should be part of people’s everyday lives. Bressie’s passion for mental health awareness and his ability to connect with audiences make him an inspirational figure. We believe his presence will have a profound impact on our attendees as they navigate their career paths.”

Other speakers include: Fiona O’Neill: founder of Care Free Me, a multi-talented professional with experience in nursing, nutrition, yoga, mindfulness, and business; Tom Grennan: assistant manager at LWETB Athlone Training Centre, responsible for apprenticeships; there will also be a talk on opportunities for people in the legal and financial sectors.
