More than 3,000 students will meet potential employers at the FutureSkills Fair at Suffolk New College in Ipswich on October 22. Organisers are urging more Suffolk businesses to take part.
Charlotte Rossiter, events supervisor at Suffolk New College, said the fair is needed because government figures suggest almost one million young people are not in education, training or employment. She stated: 'So now more than ever we need to work together to inspire the next generation.'
So far, 45 businesses have signed up, including 13 sponsors. Headline sponsor Sizewell C is joined by Anglian Larder, Associated British Ports, Barnes Construction, Cory Brothers, John Grose Group, Kier, Rose Builders, and Suffolk Chamber of Commerce. Elliott Murphy, skills development manager at Sizewell C, described the project as representing 'a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Suffolk'.
Suffolk New College revived the fair in 2024 after it was previously held at Trinity Park before the pandemic forced a pause.
