CDS Hosts Inspirational Bi-Annual Careers Fair

Posted on: 03/03/2026

The School was alive with excitement as the CDS Bi-Annual Careers Fair transformed the sports hall into a vibrant hub of opportunity. Forty-five local exhibitors attended, offering pupils a unique, hands on insight into the world of work and the diverse career pathways available within the local labour market.

Throughout the day, pupils engaged with an array of interactive workplace activities—including a popular digger simulator—while also taking part in meaningful conversations with industry professionals. These experiences enabled pupils not only to learn about different careers, but to actively explore the skills, sectors, and possibilities that shape their futures.

Pupils gained more than information; they gained inspiration.
They didn’t just observe careers—they experienced them.
They didn’t just hear about opportunities—they discovered them.
They didn’t just meet employers—they began forging real connections.

The school extends its sincere thanks to EBP for their invaluable support in organising the event, as well as to every exhibitor whose presence helped make the fair such a memorable and impactful experience. Their contribution ensures that pupils are equipped with relevant Labour Market Information and the confidence to consider their next steps with purpose and ambition.

The Careers Fair stands as a testament to the School's commitment to opening doors, sparking ambition, and helping pupils build bright and informed futures.
