The Leeds Digital Careers Fair returns to the first direct arena in the city on Tuesday 24 September.
The free event hosted by Leeds City Council will see businesses and learning providers from across the region showcasing opportunities to visitors exploring a career in the digital sector.
With 56 organisations expected to attend, including this year’s sponsors: Bank of England, Leeds City College, and KPMG, visitors can access job opportunities and career information with leading digital and technology companies.
In addition to meeting some of the north’s biggest digital employers, attendees can also speak to a range of training providers offering courses such as T-levels, apprenticeships, boot camps, and degree courses. The event’s Inspire zone will also host fascinating talks from industry leaders such as Microsoft.
An interactive area will allow attendees to get involved in talks and activities throughout the day and offer insight into the wide range of digital career pathways.
Speaking ahead of the fair, Leeds City Council’s Deputy Leader, and executive member for economy, transport and sustainable development, Councillor Jonathan Pryor, said: “With a booming digital economy in Leeds, and skills that are relevant to almost all sectors, there are opportunities for anyone interested in a digital career.
“This year’s Leeds Digital Careers Fair, now in its third year, will build on the success of previous years and is set to be the best yet. With a wide range of companies, training providers, and insightful talks from industry leaders, there will be something for everyone.
“The event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome, so I encourage anyone interested in a digital career to book tickets today.”
