The Careers Fair is an excellent way for students to hear what local companies have on offer. Students can talk to different employers, gain an understanding of what their jobs entail or the different roles available, and the skills that are needed to be successful in today’s economy. This is an informal setting, where students can ask any questions they may have.
Representatives from companies may bring business cards, leaflets, free samples or some technology to showcase to students.
Impact quotes:
“For pupils deciding what to do post-16, visits to Higher Education settings, employers and apprenticeship providers can be valuable (sometimes through attending a careers fair) and also participating in application and interviewing workshops.”
