Virtual careers fair call
D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership is calling on Marketing Derby Bondholders to back an innovative virtual careers fair aimed at young people in Derby and South Derbyshire.
The LEP is working with the School Development Support Agency (SDSA), which is supporting the mobilisation and co-ordination of a number of careers and skills initiatives in the areas, including the Virtual Careers Fair for Derby and South Derbyshire.
Launching in April, the event is open to 100 employers, training organisations and post-16 providers to showcase local career pathways and inspire young people, supporting them to explore their next steps.
Following on from a similar successful event in Chesterfield, it aims to cover a wide variety of industries, from engineering and manufacturing, to hospitality and retail.
The virtual careers fair will be an open access facility for education professionals, young people and their families to discover local opportunities.
They will be able to access each organisation’s website, videos, materials, resources and get in contact to seek more information. The platform does not require live interaction.

Registrations close on Friday, 26th February.
