Help your son or daughter career ahead at the What Next? Careers and Opportunities Fair!
Major employers, Universities, FE Colleges and 6th Form Colleges will be raising awareness of the opportunities available to young people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire when they converge at this year's What Next? Careers and Opportunities Fair on Tuesday 4th (evening only) & Wednesday 5th October, 2011
The venue for What Next? is the Harvey Hadden Sports Arena, in Bilborough, Nottingham.
The fair attracts exhibitors from
some of the largest organisations in the Midlands, offering
information, advice and guidance on career options, job opportunities
and education choices in further and higher education
In addition, representatives from the region's schools, colleges, further and higher education institutions and student advice bodies will also be there to advise on all aspects of college and university life.
Plus there are interactive stands, live music, free seminars and goodie bags galore.
This event is specifically for you if your son or daughter is in Years 11, 12 or 13.
Once again Connexions Nottinghamshire will have a big presence at the fair, with Connexions Advisers on-hand to give you or your son or daughter some valuable careers advice.
On Tuesday 4th October the event will be open to the public from 5.00pm to 8.00pm. And on Wednesday 5th October it will be open from 9.00am to 3.30pm to schools and colleges by pre-appointment and will once again open to the general public from 5.00pm to 8.00pm.
Parent Advice Point
Recognising the pivotal role that parents play in supporting their children to plan their future, this year Connexions Nottinghamshire will be hosting a dedicated parent advice point.
At the advice point, parents and carers can have a cuppa and a sit down and talk to one of a team of Connexions Personal Advisers about all the opportunities available to their son or daughter as they plan for life after year 11. Parents will be able to get tailored one-to-one support to help them support their teenager.
The event will also provide the opportunity for parents and carers to meet leading employers from government and private industry and to explore the various education and training options available to your son or daughter.
Parents evenings run from 5pm to 8pm
