Register your interest - and wait for confirmation

While this is a free event, due to high demand, registering your interest does not guarantee you a place.

Before we can confirm which students should attend, we need to match skills to make sure students and businesses have the best experience. If your skills match the skills that businesses are looking for on this occasion, you will be sent an email confirmation.
