Teams from various departments across Bedford Borough Council, including Public Health, IT, Communications, and Highways, participated in the event. Staff manned stalls, discussing career opportunities with young people, their parents, and guardians.
Chris Morris, the Council’s Service Director for Education, SEND and Schools, and Deputy Chief Executive Craig Austin, shared insights from their own career journeys through short talks.
The fair is part of the Council's broader initiative to encourage young people to consider their futures and explore the wide range of opportunities available.
“"I was so proud of the number of staff who gave up their time to speak to our young people and show them just how many opportunities there are for them – whether that is with us at Bedford Borough Council or in the working world more widely."
“"When you are still at school it’s difficult to imagine how many possible careers there are. Whatever awaits these young people in the future, I hope that Wednesday evening’s event helps them to make the absolute most of their future."
