Expo focuses on working abroad

IT’S expected 50,000 young people will flock to the new Aviva stadium this weekend to the Choices 2011 careers expo.

That’s one for every seat in the rejuvenated Lansdowne Road but unfortunately also the same number who are expected to leave the country this year in search of work.

Among the 84 exhibitors, it was those catering for jobseekers wishing to leave that were doing the briskest business. On the USIT working-abroad stand Helena Murphy was dealing with a queue of inquires.
