About this event

The annual Livery Showcase is a popular highlight of the London Careers Festival and offers a special opportunity for students to meet and interact with those actively involved in a wide range of professions, trades and crafts.

Pupils will get a chance to try practical tasks for themselves on some stalls and watch whilst craftsman carry out often intricate tasks on others.

On the majority of stalls there will be young trainees and/apprentices who will chat to the pupils about how they made the decision to start a particular career path. Stalls are provided by many of the City of London Livery Companies and the students who attend will have a chance to learn about career paths they may never have heard of before.

Sessions on Tue 4 Feb are suitable for pupils in Years 7, 8, 9 & 10.
