The Skills Show. NEC Birmingham. 15-17 November 2012
September 17, 2012
The Skills Show provides the perfect opportunity to meet employers and to talk with real people about real jobs. There is lots going on at the show and plenty to get involved with such as visiting the interactive ‘Have a Go’s’ section, offering visitors the chance to try a ‘bite-size’ taster of a new skill, trade or profession. It doesn’t stop there; The Skills Show offers the visitors the chance to speak to experts from some of the biggest names in skills, careers, apprenticeships and education. They will be able to speak to colleges, universities and learning providers from across the UK, about the different entry routes into a host of career sectors; and all this for free!
In addition to offering loads of advice, The Skills Show will also be the centrepiece and culmination of a nationwide campaign to raise the public awareness and recognition of vocational skills and careers by hosting a range of skills competitions, awards and activities. Building on the saying that ‘seeing is believing’, visitors are set to be inspired by a wide variety of skills in action, as the best of the nation’s young talent perform at the WorldSkills UK Competitions.
This year, The Skills Show will take place over three days from 15-17 November at the NEC Birmingham. It’s free to attend, and all you need to do is register your details by visiting the website or calling the hotline.
The show aims to attract over 100,000 visitors; making it the largest event of its kind in the UK, so it certainly will provide a unique opportunity to be inspired and to learn more about education, skills and apprenticeships.
