Careers festivals, Skills shows & Employer events
Planning and delivering large-scale employer engagement events can be time-consuming and resource intensive. We work alongside schools to design and deliver engaging events that connect learners with employers, training providers and further education institutions.
We can support with:
- Event planning and coordination
- Employer and exhibitor recruitment
- Skills festivals and careers fairs
- STEM and sector-focused events
- Logistics, communications and event delivery
- Evaluation and impact reporting
Through these events, students gain valuable insights into career pathways, workplace expectations and future opportunities.
