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.

Feedback -
"Amazing......you have such a cool website and there is everything the students need.
I like the fact that there’s so much choice too, it’s not the same old standard links for students to go into but there are different and exciting things too."
