Each Pledge careers fair allows you to engage with 1,000s of students across Cheshire.

The Cheshire and Warrington Pledge puts employers at the heart of inspiring the next generation. It is engaged with all mainstream, SEND, Alternative Provision schools and colleges and many youth and community groups.

The Pledge fairs, which are now an established annual event having been going for over 10 years, bring all of these local schools and colleges together for one big inspirational event. Therefore, as an exhibitor, instead of going to several schools, you can attend the Pledge coordinated town events across the region. This will maximize the number of students, teachers and other businesses you engage with, completely free.

At each event, you will get the chance to meet over a thousand young people from different schools and colleges. Many schools will be bringing whole year groups at one time and we will open the doors to the general public too.

These events are targeted at Year 9-13 students to help them understand what opportunities are available locally in terms of careers and educational pathways but also in terms of securing volunteering and work experience placements for the future.

We’re looking for exhibitors to represent the wide range of sectors and opportunities available within Cheshire and Warrington:

  • Employers – across all sectors, showcasing small and big businesses and uniformed services
  • Charities and youth groups – also great to recruit volunteers for your charity
  • Independent Training Providers
  • Colleges
  • Sixth Form colleges
  • Universities
