The shows are designed for career guidance professionals working with both young people and adults to network, learn and meet like-minded colleagues. There is also opportunity to gain CPD at expert seminars and meet with exhibitors. And it's all free!

Exhibitors will include employers, sector skills councils, government agencies, examination bodies, charities, universities, colleges and training companies. Prospects and The Institute of Career Guidance worked in partnership to deliver the first event in March 2010. In 2011 we welcomed 2,000 delegates, 150 exhibitors covering a variety of career resources and presented 35 different seminars giving inspirational insights into developments in career guidance and IAG. An equally relevant programme is planned for 2012.

The free seminars will again be complemented by an exhibition that provides visitors with the latest information from employers, industry leaders, education organisations and suppliers to the career guidance sector.

The National Career Guidance Show's unique mix of learning opportunities provided by the seminars, with extensive networking and information-gathering opportunities make it an event not to be missed.
