Enterprise West Midlands One Fest Careers Fair

We are extending an invitation to the One Fest Careers Fair, a one-day event designed to connect students and job seekers with employers from major companies. Whether you’re studying for a degree, A-levels, or looking for career guidance, this is your chance to explore new opportunities and network with professionals across various industries.

This careers fair is part of One Fest, a three-day cultural celebration showcasing the rich traditions of 54 African nations, 21 Caribbean Islands, and Afro-Latino countries from South America. It’s more than just a job fair—it’s a vibrant event where culture meets opportunity.

Who Should Attend:

• Students from diverse backgrounds, particularly those from BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) communities and individuals with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).
• Recent graduates or anyone looking to transition into new career opportunities.

Why Attend?

• Meet potential employers and learn about current job opportunities.
• Gain insight into career options after education, whether you’re in university or doing A-levels.
• Build key skills such as communication by networking with employers and other students.
• Get personalised career advice and support, especially for BAME and SEND individuals.

Careers fairs are important because youth unemployment is on the rise, particularly among those aged 16-24, career fairs like this are essential platforms for connecting with employers and securing employment. Research shows that career fairs are valuable for networking and helping individuals assess if an industry is the right fit for them.

The One Fest Careers Fair seeks to break down barriers to employment and bridge the gap for underrepresented communities. Alongside career opportunities, the event will feature cultural performances, adding a unique experience to this job fair.

Don’t miss this opportunity to unlock new possibilities, meet employers, and gain the tools you need for career success.
