Year 2 students from Esports, Creative Media and IT spent some time at the Leeds Digital Careers Fair exploring industry links, university courses and other services linked to the local area. With over 50 exhibitors on display, there was a lot of information, and expertise for students to engage with. 

Within the exhibitions were: –

Tech Demonstrations and Inspirational Speakers:

The students immersed themselves in technology with live demonstrations from key speakers covering a spectrum of topics related to digital careers and pathways, who shared their experiences, insights, and valuable advice.

Recruiters and Hiring Managers:

Students were able to connect directly with recruiters and hiring managers from some of the industry’s biggest names and discover current and future job opportunities and apprenticeships that align with their skills and aspirations.

Career Pathways Exploration:

The students were able to explore a variety of career pathways in digital and tech, speaking to training providers offering courses ranging from T-levels and apprenticeships to bootcamps and degree programmes.

Chris Wright, Lecturer in Esports and Information Technology said, “The event allowed students to speak to experts to help them decide on careers and higher education options and gain valuable knowledge and experience of the industry in which they are studying. allowing them to discover opportunities both in the local area and wider industry.”
