Empowering Newquay’s Future Careers Marketplace

This landmark event will bring together 30 businesses, over 800 students from local schools, and members of the public for a unique careers marketplace event that aims to inspire, inform, and connect young people with the wealth of career opportunities available in Cornwall.

Organised by local volunteers, educators, and changemakers, this grassroots initiative aims to spark inspiration, ambition, and real opportunity for young people—and it’s calling on the whole community to be part of the experience.

From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, students from Treviglas Academy and Newquay Tretherras School will be attending an immersive experience of workshops, live demonstrations, and engaging showcases from local employers and public can also attend during the day. But from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM the site will be less busy, so we encourage members of the public who can to attend the event after 3pm where possible, although you will be welcome at any time if daytime suits you better.

More Than a Careers Fair
Unlike traditional careers events, Empowering Newquay’s Future promises interaction, inspiration, and connection. Attendees will be able to get hands-on with tools of the trade, try out creative activities, speak directly with employers, and discover what makes Newquay’s businesses such exciting places to work.
