Get Set For Derbyshire's Largest Careers Event In Chesterfield And Derby
It’s not long now until Chesterfield and Derby host this year’s Derbyshire Skills Festival – the county’s largest careers event.
The event is organised by Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council and is aimed at students aged 13 to 19, particularly those in Year 11 who are considering their options after school.
This year it is being held on:
• Wednesday 19 and Thursday 20 September 2018 at the Pride Park Stadium, Pride Park, Derby, DE24 8XL
• Wednesday 26 September 2018 at the Proact Stadium, Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, S41 8NZ
The events are free and will open from 3.30pm to 8pm.
More than 50 employers, colleges, training providers and voluntary organisations will be at the events, offering the support and guidance needed to help make future career choices – all under one roof.
There will be ‘have-a-go’ activities for young people to test their skills and get first-hand experience of engineering, media, hair and beauty and much more.
Derbyshire County Council Cabinet Member for Young People Councillor Alex Dale said: “We’re really excited for this year’s Derbyshire Skills Festival.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for young people to come along and find out about lots of different careers and take part in some fun activities too.
“If you know someone aged 13 to 19 please encourage them to pop along – last year more than 10,000 people attended over three great days.”
There will also be sessions for young people with special educational needs and disabilities and young people who are not in education, employment or training.
