Event details

Quality encounters with employers are vital for the future success of Greater Manchester’s young people.

On the 6^th and 7^th June 2019, 1400 students in Years 9 and 10 (ages 13-15) will have the chance to take part in exciting and high energy networking events with business professionals from across Greater Manchester.

The events will take place at AJ Bell, 1 Stadium Way, Eccles, Manchester, M30 7EY.

The aim of the events are to inspire and inform Greater Manchester’s young people about the range of career options and pathways available to them, and the industries/skills that are growing and in demand across our city region.

Ask of business volunteers:

• Volunteers can register for a full day (10am-3pm), morning (10am-12noon) or afternoon session (1pm-3pm). If you would like to attend for the full day, please register for both the morning and afternoon sessions on that day.
• If more than one person is attending from an organisation, please ensure each person registers for the session(s) they can attend to ensure all attendees receive the correct information before the event. 
• Organisations can attend on both days.
• This is not a careers fair, but an opportunity for young people to take part in discussions with business professionals, rotating around tables in small groups throughout the morning/afternoon.
• Organisations do not need to prepare or bring any materials/resources to the event, but are asked to discuss their job role, day-to-day responsibilities, pathway and professional experiences with the young people during the speed networking event. The young people will have undertaken preparation activities and might come prepared with questions to ask you. A full briefing note will be circulated in advance of the event.
