Since 2015 the Plymouth Manufacturers Group (the ‘PMG’) has held annual early careers jobs fairs in Plymouth.
From 2018, Building Plymouth joined to co-host the event and together the two organisations have enabled hundreds of young people to meet top employers offering local apprenticeships, graduate roles and industry placements in Manufacturing & Engineering, Construction & the Built Environment. Of course family, guardians and friends are all welcome to attend too to help discover the next steps and opportunities available to you.
Our next Early Careers Fair will take place on a Saturday 15th February 2025.
