Over 50 employers will have representatives at the Bucks venue.

Marina Jackson, from Buckinghamshire Skills Hub, said: “The Confident Futures Skills Show enables young people to explore careers, discover different industry sectors and work out how to achieve their ambitions. But equally, it is an opportunity for employers to inspire the next generation and secure their talent pipeline.”

Among the organisations participating are the NHS, Buckinghamshire Council, Stony Dean School, Mission EmployAble and Talkback.

People working at universities and colleges will also be around to help young adults, as well as their parents and carers make decisions about their next steps.

A sensory-conscious show will run from 10am-12pm and 1pm-3pm for schools and colleges, followed by a session from 3.30pm-5.30pm which is open to job seekers, career changers, and young people accompanied by their parents.
