The Skills Service is looking for around 150 businesses from Peterborough, Fenland, Rutland and West Norfolk and the surrounding areas to showcase their industry at the Careers Festival on the Peterborough Embankment on 10th July.
Supported by The Skills Show, the European Social Fund and the National Careers Service, the Festival aims to help young people consider their career options, raise their aspirations and ensure they have the right skills needed to gain employment in the local area.
Last year the event was attended by more than 100 businesses and training providers and over 2000 young people. Following positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors the 2014 event is being extended to a much wider geographical area, offering a bigger and more extensive experience.
Free to exhibit, businesses are invited to offer interactive ‘have a go’ style activities to give a taster of what it might be like to work in their sector and to talk to young people about the types of jobs they could aspire to.
To book or find out more, please contact Miranda at Opportunity Peterborough: [email protected].
