It has got me thinking about my options, what I want to do after my studies and also how I would get there/prepare for applications
I enjoyed exploring the wide range of different career paths, including the ones I hadn't originally thought about or had maybe forgotten about.
All the stands were very informative and able to answer all my questions
I enjoyed talking to the different colleges and universities and seeing how many different types of jobs there are
I enjoyed learning about different universities and about the courses they had available. It was fun to learn about the career paths of the people representing the university and about what courses the unis offer
The people at the stalls were very good at answering questions and enthusiastic about their jobs
I loved seeing what the universities and apprenticeships have on offer, I also liked the different jobs which inspired me with ideas for when I'm older.
I really enjoyed the variety of careers present at the fair and the enthusiasm of all the people there in explaining their careers and routes into their careers.
I enjoyed speaking to the people with interesting and unique jobs, that we could possibly do
Go Green in 2022!

Access to a Futures Fair website over a longer period than a one day live event, means that you will be able to research your dreams and aspirations independently in form time, class and in your own time at home.
Research and events will generate good conversations between students & universities/companies from around the country who are very keen for north east talent to join them.
