Are you a parent supporting your child’s career choices?
You want to help, but the landscape has changed. The jobs, routes and options available today look nothing like when you left school. It's hard to guide your child through something that feels unfamiliar.
There's too much information and it can be overwhelming. Every website, prospectus and careers page seems to point in a different direction. You’re looking for more clarity on the options and next step.
You know this decision is theirs to make. But you want to be able to ask the right questions, have better conversations, and help them think it through.
This event will help you to do that. You'll hear directly from employers and young people already in these roles, so you leave with a clearer picture of what's actually out there.
You won't be on your own after this. We know that one event isn’t the answer, it’s a point on the journey. By attending the event we can support you going forward, helping you to help them take their next step.

This careers fair is different
What we're NOT doing:
Aimless wandering around. That doesn’t work for you or the employers. Nobody knows who to approach or what to say.
Lengthy presentations. You don't want to sit through them. Employers don't want to give them.
Missed opportunities and connections. Nobody wants to find out afterwards that they didn’t speak to the right people.
What we ARE doing:
Small group breakout rooms with employers you want to speak to. You'll have honest conversations and get quality insights about:
What the day to day is really like
What makes a standout applicant
The routes to employment
Where the real opportunities in the region are
The biggest benefits of attending?
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the roles, how to get them, and have ongoing support to take the next steps
