Event description

Inspire our students

The objective of this Careers Fair is to expose young students to various professions, industries, and career opportunities that lie ahead of them. We believe that early exposure to different career paths can help shape their aspirations and motivate them to excel academically. By participating in this event, you have the unique opportunity to showcase your organisation and inspire the next generation of professionals.

Benefits of Participation:
1. Brand Exposure: Gain visibility and create brand awareness among the students.
2. Recruitment Prospects: Identify and connect with potential future talents at an early stage.
3. Community Engagement: Demonstrate your organisation's commitment to education and community development.
4. Networking Opportunities: Interact with other industry professionals, educators, and stakeholders who share a common interest in empowering young minds.

We kindly request your participation by setting up an informational booth or interactive display where you can engage with the students. You may consider bringing hands-on activities, engaging visual aids, and informative materials that can capture the attention of young minds.

"In this session, business volunteers will share insights, lessons and tips to motivate and inspire your students to make informed decisions about their future.

Speakers will ‘tell a story’ about their career journey:

• Subjects they studied and how these are relevant now

• What inspired them to choose their career path

• Their failures, as well as successes

• What their company does and why this is important

• What they enjoy most about their career

• Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now."
