Overview

Working out what to do when you finish school is really important. In fact, it could be one of the biggest choices you’ll ever make. That’s why this year in February, we’ll be hosting our 19th FuturesUP virtual careers fair, in line with National Apprenticeship week and you’re invited! 

Feedback from Uptree alumni students is that our FuturesUP events were the first step in helping them discover what they wanted to do in the future, whether that was a subject, career, or University vs Apprenticeship. Does this sound like it could be you? Then sign up to attend! This is also a great opportunity to find out about the opportunities our partner companies have available to students like you. 

The employers you'll get to meet represent all industries from finance, trading, media and advertising, professional services, business, law, engineering, and technology.

Employers you'll get to meet are J.P. Morgan (Finance), KPMG (Finance and Tech), MBDA (Stem), Norton Rose Fulbright (Law), Publicis Groupe UK (Creative), PwC (Finance and Tech), Sequel (Tech), Tideway (Stem), IBM (Tech), GCHQ (Stem) and Arm (Tech). 

You'll also get to meet Uptree Alumni who have gone on to do Apprenticeships, as well as have the chance to ask experts at Uptree your questions about your future. 

 

Why should you attend: 

1. Be inspired by the different careers available and discover where your grades & experiences can take you

2. Gain access to a professional network of industry leaders and decision-makers, these are the people who could hold the key to your future career!

3. Ask questions & hear first-hand stories from current apprentices, graduates, Uptree alumni and professionals from our partner companies. These are people who really understand your position and have been through the process themselves! 

4. Improve your confidence when applying to jobs in the future. Get a true insight into what makes an application stand out, whereabouts to start, how to interview and what company culture really means - plus much more!

 

Agenda

You'll get to take part in a wide range of interactive sessions on the day and get the chance to speak to professionals (yes, you'll get to meet and speak to the employers instead of just listening!), recruiters, and current apprentices and grads from all of the top employers listed above.
