What can I expect?

We have chosen this year’s themes through our research with previous visitors.

The last two years have seen a far-reaching shift in working patterns, dramatic acceleration in remote working, and industry-wide upheaval and change. The National Careers Guidance Show 2023 reflects this new era and looks to the future, with innovative and exciting ways for career leads and exhibitors to interact and gain comprehensive insights into the labour market. 

Explore the changing world of work, generate new relationships, and be inspired by seminars and our exhibition (made up of more than 40 local and national employers, training providers, universities and CIAG specialists). Join us in London on 8 March and leave better equipped to support young people, career seekers and changers at all stages of life.  

National Career Guidance Show also boasts free seminars and talks which are full of fresh ideas from industry leaders and experts in their field. The on-the-day programme will kick off at 10 am.

Other key topics include:

• work experience
• LMI
• apprenticeships
• degree apprenticeships
• Gatsby Benchmarks
• embedding careers in the curriculum
• careers and support for SEND students
• new qualifications
