The BIG Futures Show is a great way to showcase a wide variety of career options to whole year groups looking to find out more about their possible future career and education options.
The BIG Futures Show returns on Tuesday 29 April 2025.
The show is the largest employability, skills and job seekers event in the area and is aimed at students (aged 14+) from across East Sussex plus their parents and anyone looking for work or training.
Our 80+ employers will be providing interactive exhibits and guidance aimed at inspiring tomorrow’s workforce. They will be looking for new talent and explaining what qualifications they require and what training and apprenticeships they offer in the workplace. Colleges, Universities and other training providers will be on hand to promote their offer and where it fits with employer’s requirements and what they are seeking from students. There will be a number of other organisations present at the show that will offer personal development opportunities and a variety of related attractions.
We want our student group visitors to leave inspired and motivated about their BIG future. To help support this invaluable experience we will provide lesson materials and a comprehensive show guide that supports the ‘Gatsby Benchmarks’ and ‘Investor in Careers’ plus there will be ‘show hosts’ available on the day to help steer them round and keep them focussed!
Pre-registration is required for all groups. 90-minute visits are available at 30-minute intervals during the day. Early booking is recommended to secure your preferred time slot. Confirmed bookings will be invoiced and must be paid before 31 March 2025.
To request details about discounts, check availability or if you have any questions, please email tim@eastbourneebp.org.uk or call 07890 388624.
“The BIG Futures Show is a brilliant event which gives young people excellent opportunities to find out about all the different work sectors and jobs available. Lots of interactive activities which students love taking part in.”
