Meet the Companies 

Seven speakers from a variety of innovative sectors will present their businesses and discuss what qualities they’re looking for when they recruit for new additions to their teams.

Ranging from established businesses to fast-growing start-ups, there’s a host of different speakers that are sure to be of interest to you, who you’ll get to chat to one-to-one later in the day.

Employability Skills

After hearing from the companies, you will learn more from industry experts and a major north Wales employer about the skills they think are most important for future employees to develop.

There will be a presentation from a Bangor University graduate who has since gone on to establish their own business…and it’s one you may not expect.

Over to you - Quiz the Companies

Your chance to meet one-to-one with our speakers and share what skills you have, find out if their company is in the kind of industry that excites you, and if your suitability for any potential work opportunities they may have going forward.

Whilst this is a great opportunity for networking and making some valuable industry contacts, it could also offer you a lot more if one of these companies has the right opportunities for you!

This is the most important event of the day, and our employers may be just as nervous as you about taking part; put yourself our there, get your game face on, and see if you can unlock the sparc that ignites your future career!
