What we're NOT doing:

❌ Lengthy presentations – nobody wants to sit through them
❌ Missed opportunities – no one wants to find out afterwards they didn't speak to the right people

What we ARE doing:

✔️ Small group breakout rooms with employers you want to speak to
✔️ Honest conversations about what the day-to-day is really like
✔️ Insights into what makes a standout applicant
✔️ Clear guidance on routes to employment
✔️ Information on where the real opportunities in the region are

You'll leave with a clear understanding of the role you want, how to get it, and the next step to take.
