BEP stages Area Careers Fair

All post primary schools in the Ballymena and Antrim boroughs have been invited to send delegations of pupils to the event which opens for business at 9.30am and will be in operation throughout the school day until 3pm.

Sixty-eight exhibitors, representing business, industry, training and further and higher education will be present at Cambridge House, which has kindly agreed to host the event in its sports and main assembly halls.

Chairperson of Ballymena BEP, Daphne Harshaw, is delighted that employers and those involved in delivering further and higher education programmes see the Careers Fair, which has received support funding from the Department of Education, as a major event in their itinerary.

“With in excess of 1,600 students and teachers drawn from schools throughout the two boroughs and beyond expected to pass through during the day, we are delighted that so many organisations have agreed to participate,” said Daphne who extended thanks to the principal and governors of Cambridge House for accommodating the Fair.
