Over 100 people attended a careers fair organised by Copeland MP Trudy Harrison.
The event was held in the Civic Hall in Whitehaven and featured 34 exhibitors.
Mrs Harrison and her team said they had received positive feedback from visitors and stallholders at Friday’s event.
Mrs Harrison said: “I’d like to say a huge thank-you to everyone who supported the event. We had a good mix of attendees, from young people exploring their future options, to jobseekers and those looking to retrain or change careers.
“The exhibitors showcased the range and quality of career options available here in Copeland; from health to tourism, leisure to the environment, emergency services to the arts, and of course, nuclear and the vast supply chain.
“I’d also like to thank Cumbria Deaf Association and Team Autism for supporting the event, and to Whitehaven Civic Hall for being fabulous hosts.”
