About this Event

All Together Cumbria and Lakes College are happy to announce the return of the Festival fo Work for 2024 on Thursday 11th July at Lakes College.

The Festival of Work is an event responding to the skills shortages in the region, by showcasing the local employment opportunities available and the pathways to progressing a successful career across the construction, engineering, and nuclear sectors.

The Festival of Work provides a great opportunity for businesses to engage with secondary school students to help inspire the next generation across West Cumbria between 9am and 2:30pm. From 2:30pm to 5pm the focus of the event will turn to adults, including those that are unemployed and those already in work but who are looking to progress or change their career.

The festival will include employer stands to promote vacancies alongside career support organisations and training/education providers. There will also be a programme of interactive workshop sessions to provide an insight into the wide range of careers available and how they can be pursued.
