A fantastic new Careers Event, created specifically to meet the needs of employers and young pople in Shropshire and Mid Wales

Join us for a deep dive into career pathways, training opportunities, and finding out what skills are in high demand (and highly prized!) in our area.

With multiple exhibition zones to explore and employers to meet, as well as spotlight talks on specific areas and career themes, this free event is a must-visit for young people aged 14-20 and their families.

"Studying higher education at Shrewsbury College gave real value as the tutors’ stories about their experiences helped to contextualise course materials. Now I’m exploring a top-up year or a higher-level apprenticeship, with the goal of teaching others after gaining industry experience. My advice to new students is to stay organised, but don’t over-focus on just one area.”
