Employer encounters

We design, organise, and deliver bespoke careers fairs to equip your students with the very latest knowledge of Further Education, Higher Education, Apprenticeships and local labour market opportunities.

We aim to showcase between 20-40 exhibitors from a range of sectors, depending on space available. We support your school or college to be Baker Clause Compliant.

We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with employers, to support repeated engagement with your school or college.

We organise mock interviews with employers, Higher Education, and Further Education providers.
