Festival of Careers East Coast College

Aim of the event: To inspire school children aged 14-16 who are about to complete their GCSE’s and decide on their next steps. The Festival may also be a great opportunity for your business to spot potential future apprentices and will be a perfect opportunity to highlight the apprenticeships and progression roles your company has to offer.

We would be very grateful if some if your employees could come along and have a stand to talk to the students who walk round to learn more about career pathways they could potentially take. We can offer multiple stands if that best suit your business, meaning you can have a different stand for different aspects/ roles your company has to offer. As the event will use all the college buildings, we have the opportunity to place businesses in the location that best suits their career helping prospective students identify careers in relation to their college course/ interests.

We would also love it if you could be as interactive as possible for students as we have a game running throughout the day where all exhibitors can get involved and reward students who impress them the most! More information will be sent when sign up is confirmed!
