We had great engagement from a variety of visitors all in our target age range. The split between school groups on the Friday and parents on the Saturday has helped to give a nice distinction to both days. It’s been really positive, we’ve been very busy on both days and our presentation was really well received as well!

We’ve had a really good time at the event, very busy on the first day with school groups which gave us the chance to speak to lots of students and the second day allowed us to have a lot of in-depth conversations with parents and students together who all seemed really engaged with our offers.

The event has been a great success for us. We’ve seen really high levels of engagement from students in years 10 – 13 who are actively interested in getting into teaching and finding out what their journey into the classroom could look like. This is our first time at the event and the return on the investment has been worth it – we will definitely be back.

Running on a Saturday is a great opportunity to meet a different range of students and their supporters. This event is really well organised, and exhibitors are well looked after by the staff. Lunch in a private space within the venue was provided, and staff came to check everything was okay at the beginning and end of the event and were very visible throughout should we need anything.

The engagement has been absolutely fantastic. We were surprised by how many students were open to more niche career options. We were so impressed by the diversity of candidates we spoke to: it’s a very important area that we’re happy was fulfilled at the event. This event is such a good chance to highlight how young people can get into industries they might never have thought of.

It’s one of the best school-leaver events I’ve attended because of how engaged the students have been. They knew exactly what they wanted to ask us, which made the two days fly by! The set-up at the event is fantastic – so well-organised – and the footfall has been great too!

I’ve had the most wonderful time. We’ve been exhibiting for years and a person came up to me who had attended What University? & What Career? Live three years ago and said that the advice and information we gave them on our stand led them to study medical science. It actually made me emotional to know that we really made a difference being at this event!

We regularly attend What Career? Live events as they offer the perfect opportunity to engage with young people and their families face-to-face.

This event has been fantastic! Very busy and we’re very happy with the quality of candidates we’ve met – everyone is either prepared or ready and willing to engage. Most of the audience has been 6^th formers which is perfect for us, but we have really appreciated the opportunity to answer parents’ questions too.

The event has been very well organised, everyone we’ve spoken to is considered and interested and they’re all in the right age range! We’ve been happy with how steady the footfall has been all weekend and the event team have been so helpful as well!

We’re looking to capitalise on the school market and we want to develop engagement face to face and the What University? & What Career? Live event has been a great environment for us to do that. The quality of conversations we’ve had have been fantastic and the students have all been incredibly prepared!

Today has been one of the best parent and student engagement days I’ve worked – and I’ve been in the industry for years now!

We’ve had great conversations with pupils from our target age group and everyone we spoke to was very interested in discovering more about their post-school options.

Our key aims when we exhibit are to build our brand awareness and to give young people as much knowledge as possible. We often find that many students still aren’t aware of how many options there are available to them after school, so getting to speak to such a high quantity is really important for our organisation. It’s been such a successful event for us to meet our targets.

The event was very, very well organised and allowed us to speak to lots of young people who are planning their next steps. The fact that it runs on a Saturday is unique and really helps us engage with all our target groups.
