Leeds Digital Careers Fair - 24 September 2024
Organised by Leeds City Council’s Employment & Skills Service, the biggest digital careers fair in the north will return this September, this pivotal event aims to inspire individuals who are not currently working in digital or tech, providing a place for people to explore diverse career paths, training courses and to connect emerging talent with opportunities available within our growing digital landscape.
About the event
Leeds Digital Careers Fair is returning 24 September 2024 at Leeds First Direct Arena.
Last year's event attracted approximately 4000 visitors, highlighting the event's impact in bridging the gap between talent and opportunity. LDCF24 is hoping to build on that success by offering an even wider range of opportunities for visitors and employers. This year's fair promises to be even more engaging and informative, with plans to incorporate further interactive elements that provide attendees with a hands-on experience. Designed around three key pillars: 'inform,' 'inspire,' and 'include' , aiming to create an event that informs attendees about the wide range of digital careers available, inspires them to pursue these opportunities, and ensures inclusivity by encouraging participation from diverse backgrounds.
