The Norfolk Skills and Careers Festival is a new interactive event aimed at 14-24 year olds to help inspire them for their future career and to demonstrate the various options available. It will be the only major skills and careers event to take place in Norfolk in 2016.

Groups from schools and colleges will arrive in organised time slots throughout the two-day festival. Individuals are welcome to attend too. The event aims to attract 5000 visitors.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your organisation to connect with Norfolk’s young people, your potential future workforce, both to demonstrate and talk about the key skills involved in your industry and to break down unhelpful myths. It provides a platform to connect with talented youngsters who could become gifted prospective employees.

The Festival will be structured around a number of employment sectors: Energy, Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering, ICT – Digital and Creative, Financial and Insurance Services, Leisure, Tourism and Culture, Food and Farming, Agri-Tech and Life Sciences, Health and Social Care, Logistics, Construction, Higher Education and the Armed Forces. It is planned that a Norfolk and Waveney Building Apprentices’ Competition will take place, led by RG Carter.

How can you get involved? This Festival offers you a unique opportunity to build your brand in the region and with the people that matter to your business. Importantly, it provides you and your business with a chance to demonstrate your support for the young people of Norfolk as they decide which industry to enter. Exhibition spaces (starting at 3m x 3m) are available from £300+VAT, to cover the cost of the event, including power and light and shell scheme if required; indoor and outdoor locations are available.

This Festival is promoted by Norfolk County Council, Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, Easton and Otley College, City College Norwich, Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, Norwich School and a number of other partners who care passionately about providing opportunities for the next generation.
