Opening Doors to a Brighter Future

Our first event held in 2013 gave us lots of ideas for making our 2014 event even better.  The videos below will hopefully give you a flavour of what was on offer.


This clip shows part of Bill Clarke's presentation on what you can expect when you start work.  Bill is the Managing Director of Trewithen Dairy, who produce clotted cream, milk and butter from happy healthy Cornish cows.


This clip shows the many stalls that were at the event with experts on hand to talk about the wide range of employment opportunities that are open to you, from apprenticeships to starting your own business.

If you couldn't be there in 2014 to get the best advice, then make sure you don't miss our 2015 event.  Remember, you can only open a door to find a brighter future if you know where the doors are (there is always more than one!).
