What is Careers Fair 2011?
Following on from Careers Fair 2009 and 2010, we are pleased to
announce that we will be running the hugely successful event in
2011 for its third consecutive year.
Young people aged 14-19 are invited to the new SYC flagship
Connexions centre in Shoeburyness to meet a number of local &
national employers and training providers, not to mention
universities and colleges. So whether you are unsure of which step
to take next, or would just like a little clarity over your plans,
come along to SYC on February 2nd 2011.
What can I expect to see at the Careers
Fair?
Careers
Fair 2010 was attended by over 57 exhibitors, including employers,
6th Form & Colleges, Universities & Training
Providers, including the Diploma Roadshow, who offered visitors an
opportunity to discuss not only future career prospects, but also,
get information on issues such as benefits, student bursaries,
courses and EMA. A sample of last years exhibitors include,
University of Essex, Brighton & Anglia Ruskin. SUFC -Goals
Project, vinvolved, Crown College & Eden Training. Reed
Employment, the Army & the RAF. Chase High, King Edmund
School & Seevic Collge. Trident, Job Centre Plus & the
NHS.
Why do I need to come along?
Of course, not everyone knows what they want to do when they
leave school, Careers Fair 2011 is here to help you make up your
mind or at least make the options clearer to you.
Further Education - You may have heard in the news that
thousands of young people will have their university applications
refused this year, simply due to too high of a demand for a limited
number of spaces. So, what does this mean for you? Nothing if you
are not looking to go to uni, but if you are, you will need to bear
in mind that it is ever more difficult to secure a place, Careers
Fair 2011, will equip you with a number of tips on how to help you
stand out from the crowd.
Employment - A number of employers and recruitment agencies will
be in attendance offering a range of opportunities especially for
school leavers. No need to book an appointment, just chat to
friendly advisors & whats better, they are in all one place, so
rather than walk down a cold high street on a February afternoon,
come into the warmth of SYC and visit employers from across the
country.
Last, but by no means least, Southend Connexions personal
advisors will be on hand to offer information, advice and guidance
about anything from money issues, to health & relationships,
youth sessions and much more.
