The BIG Futures Show returns for the third year on Tuesday 24th April 2018. The Show is the largest employability and skills event in the area and is aimed at students from across East Sussex as well as parents and anyone looking for work or training. The show brings employers and educators face to face with tomorrow’s workforce at a time when they are making big decisions about their futures
Student visitors have to decide what to do next in a year or so. They will be looking for jobs that they would like to do and employers that they want to work for. They will be asking about what qualifications they need and how do they achieve them? Do they look for an apprenticeship and/or do they go onto higher education and enter the workplace as a graduate?
The BIG Futures Show provides a unique opportunity for you to reach out and contribute to the development of the workforce of the future, to influence its direction and to gain exposure to it. The show is organised by Eastbourne Education Business Partnership in association with Eastbourne Borough Council. Some 100 organisations are expected to attend providing both an interactive and inspirational experience for visitors. Student visitors will benefit from additional preparation materials beforehand.
