Businesses in Peterborough are being invited to get involved with what has been dubbed “the world’s most exciting career fair” on Thursday 18 July from 9.30am-3.30pm
The dual purpose of the event, which will be held at the Peterborough Embankment, is to help young people consider career options and make sure Peterborough has the right skills needed for the future economic growth and development of the city.

We’re expecting hundreds of the city’s young people to attend the career fair to find out about the types of careers they might want to pursue.
