In 2022, Anthony hosted his first Post-18 Futures Fair at South Devon College in association with Heart of the South West Careers Hub. Returning for the second time in 2023, this event will offer sixth-form students the opportunity to discover the vast range of options available to them locally as they consider their future careers.
South Devon is home to a fantastic range of businesses in a variety of sectors. However, many young people currently fail to recognise the local opportunities and move out of the area to find employment or further training. Organisations from a wide range of sectors are being invited to showcase the best employment and apprenticeship opportunities that South Devon has to offer, as well as allowing students to meet with local training providers and advice organisations to gain a greater insight into their post-18 options.
Please find below some of the key information about the event.
