We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Shetland Careers and Opportunities Fair 2025 at Clickimin Leisure Complex on Tuesday 18th February 0930-1600
The Shetland Careers and Opportunities Fair is being organised by Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Shetland, in partnership with Skills Development Scotland, UHI Shetland, Shetland Local Employability Partnership, and the Anderson High School. This year the event is bigger than we have ever hosted before with both the bowls hall and half of the main hall in use at Clickimin Leisure complex. The event is open to people of all ages to come along to explore the exciting careers and opportunities available now in Shetland and beyond, with pupils from across Shetland attending throughout the day.
There are over 80 exhibitors attending including local and national employers, universities, and the Armed Forces, so there’s something for everyone!
Nina Hogmo, DYW Shetland Project Manager, said: “The world of work is constantly changing and having the opportunity to speak directly to employers and universities is vital to understand the variety of pathways and routes into training and employment. This provides an excellent chance to speak to these exhibitors, so we encourage everyone to come along”.
Marie Leask, SDS Shetland Team Leader, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be part of hosting this event as it provides an excellent opportunity for the people of Shetland to find out about the opportunities that are out there, and the routes to take to reach them”.
Kevin Briggs, Head of Student Experience, UHI Shetland, said: “This is a great chance for the people of Shetland to come and meet with a range of universities to find out about the breadth of opportunities that are available for studying locally and beyond. For those looking to enter employment, there will be a wealth of information and stands available so that the community has the chance to find out what is involved in different career pathways”.
