Creative Careers Fair, Chesterfield

The Creative Derbyshire Programme, in partnership with Chesterfield College, are running a Creative Careers Fair to suport and advise young people on their career options within the Creative Industries.  The event will include HE/FE providers, business and employers, support for young people starting a business and a wider range of advice and guidance.  The event is ideal for young people wanting a career in the creative sector or schools groups.

Opportunities for Business Exhibitors

We are looking for creative businesses to have an exhibition stand at the Creative Careers Fair, held jointly with Chesterfield College on the 21st June 2012.  Businesses will have the opportunity to spot the next hot talent, guide young people on their career choices and inform them what they may need to do academically and work experience wise to prepare for a career in the sector.  We are not expecting businesses to have current vacancies – although it will be an excellent opportunity for any businesses that do, we are more looking at informing young people on their career paths.  The careers fair also coincides with the end of year show for the College’s Art and Design school.  For more information please contact Jane Brown on info@creativederbyshire.com.
