See you at the important uni./apprenticeship event in London on 12 and 13 October?

"What Career Live?" and "What University Live?" ( www.whatcareerlive.co.uk ) is an event for 15-19 year olds, parents/carers and school groups which provides information on both university and apprenticeship options. The event is free to attend and features prominent UK employers and many universities as well as presentations and one-to-one advice. I'll be there as one of the individual advisers.

Next week's event is at Olympia London (W14 8UX): Friday 12 October (9.30am-3.00pm); Saturday 13 October (10.00am-4.00pm).

There are also events in 2019 at Birmingham (1-2 March) and Liverpool (22-23 March).

I attended the impressive 2017 event at the NEC in Birmingham as an individual adviser, where I was often asked about the pros and cons of uni. and apprenticeship. Here is a unique opportunity to speak with many providers of degrees and apprenticeships (or degree apprenticeships!) under the same roof.
