Event description

Dear employers,
We really hope you will join our Careers Fair to inspire and motivate students from 4 different secondary schools in Croydon

Business leaders from fast-growing local businesses are invited to join our career fair.
We will be hosting this event for students from Harris Academy Purley, Woodcote High, Riddlesdown High and Shirley High.

Companies will set up stalls in a space set up by the school and may bring business cards, leaflets or some technology to showcase to students. Students will have the opportunity to informally approach lots of different employers, talk to them personally and ask questions. It is important to note that there should be no expectations of any job opportunities being offered by business leaders at a careers fair but this is a great way for students to experience a wide range of businesses in their local community and for businesses to begin to build their talent pipeline.

Set up begins at 4pm and you are more than welcome to send any promotional material in advance.
