Employers are being urged by the Scottish Government to help remaining staff from a former seafood plant find new work.
Young's Seafood confirmed in June that it was closing its Pinneys of Scotland plant in Annan, which employed 450, after failing to find a "viable alternative" to shutting down operations.
An event to help staff made redundant by the closure is being staged next week by Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE), the Scottish Government's initiative for responding to major redundancies.
Employers in the region with vacancies are being encouraged to attend after the first support event held in July at the same venue attracted more than 200 people, with 20 businesses offering vacancies.
Cabinet Secretary for the Rural Economy Fergus Ewing said: "Since the closure of Pinneys was first announced, Scottish Government has been working to offer a swift and comprehensive package of support to all of those affected through the PACE initiative.
PACE aims to minimise the time individuals affected by redundancy are out of work. Skills Development Scotland (SDS) leads on the delivery of support along with key partners including the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Dumfries and Galloway Council.
Juliet Campbell, Regional PACE Chair for SDS, said there had been good progress to date in helping staff find work.
"It means there is now a smaller number of people requiring support, but this follow-up event will provide those needing it with the opportunity to access the range of services available, all in one place," she said.
As well as advice from SDS, help will be available from Job Centre Plus, Business Gateway, Dumfries and Galloway College, Scottish Enterprise, and Dumfries and Galloway Council.
The event will take place at the Victoria Halls Complex in the town on Thursday, 4 October from 11.00am to 3.00pm.
