This year’s Skills Festival now fully booked
Exhibition space is now fully booked at this year’s Manufacturing, Engineering and Marine Skills Festival, and exhibitors are expecting to showcase the opportunities they have on offer to up to 2000 young people from schools and colleges across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Angela Wright, the festival organiser, is delighted with the enthusiasm of businesses this year.
"We have had an unprecedented level of interest this year for an event that has been growing steadily since it started four years ago. We are looking forward to an exciting range of activities for students to get their hands on, and are continually surprised by the range of exciting visual and interactive displays that companies offer each year."
Although there is no exhibition space available, companies are welcome to come along to the festival to take a look at what is going on. There is also a Marenet event taking place at this year's event, with presentations on training and recruitment issues in the marine industry.
If you would like to attend the Marenet event please contact Jin at Marine South East by email admin@marinesoutheast.co.uk. If you are interested in taking a look around the festival, this is strictly available by prebooking with the festival organisers. Please contact robin.smith@solentskillquest.co.uk. It will not be possible to just turn up on the day without prior consent from the organisers.
