Future Careers Expo 2026

2026 was our most successful Future Careers Expo yet, and that’s entirely down to the incredible exhibitors who threw themselves into the spirit of the event with interactive activities and genuine inspiration for students, and to the schools who brought such engaged young people along.

We had the biggest turnout ever in terms of both exhibitors and students attending.

All exhibitors were excellent and perfectly embraced the purpose of the expo by bringing lots of interactive activities and genuine ways of inspiring students. Thank you for raising the bar.

    Thanks to our sponsors

    Thank you to our main event sponsors, Norfolk County Council and Aviva

    • Norfolk County Council — for sponsoring the bus bursary to help schools travel to the Norfolk Showground. Their commitment to connecting young people with local employers is a cornerstone of what makes the Future Careers Expo possible.
    • Aviva — for co-sponsoring the bus bursary and helping ensure no school was left behind due to transport costs. It’s a genuinely meaningful act of community investment that meant students from right across the region could attend, regardless of their school’s budget.

    Your support made it possible for schools from across Norfolk and Suffolk to attend — and that investment in the next generation means everything.

    We also want to extend a huge thank you to our Career Zone sponsors, whose backing helped create the focused, sector-specific environments that made this year’s event so impactful:

    Lovells | SaxonAir | EEEGR | Greater Anglia

    By sponsoring a career zone, these organisations didn’t just put their name to an area of the event, they helped shape the experience for hundreds of young people exploring careers in their sectors. That kind of investment sends a powerful message: that Norfolk’s businesses are genuinely committed to growing the next generation of local talent.
