Careers Fairs
Careers Fairs are aimed at students in their last two years at secondary school (Years 10 and 11) and are designed to highlight the choice of careers and post-16 opportunities available to them.
Employers, colleges, training providers and universities attend the Careers Fair - either at the school or an external conference venue - and students are encouraged to consider potential career choices before the event and then to meet representatives from the relevant organisations.
