Teen and child careers / university event

[mrsfindlay]

Is there such thing? I'm sure I recently I saw an advert for an event / careers fair that is held in London for young teens to introduce them to different careers and talk about different universities. Although I've googled it to death and can't find anything (ilI can only find them for 16+) so I feel like I may have imagined it. DD is 14. My parents never showed any interest in my education and school were useless with careers guidance (despite being a grammar school) so this has always been a priority of mine (in no way am I a pushy parent, I would just like my DD to feel inspired and have aspirations)

His school might arrange but no reason why you cannot take him

Thank you!

If your child is interest in science, I would recommend going to the New Scientist Live later in the year (I think mid-October) in Excel.

Not a traditional career fair but a large number of universities and employers are there and it gives an idea about what kind of jobs are available in STEM.
