FAQs
Have a question about the London Careers Festival? Find answers to some of the most common queries below to help you plan, book, and make the most of your experience.
Do I need to stay with my pupils?
Yes. Please be sure that you have enough staff accompanying the group(s) to be able to supervise pupils throughout the event. The school is responsible for its pupils, and a school may not be invited back if its pupils are found to be misbehaving.
Do all the sessions happen at The Guildhall?
Does the festival happen every year?
Will it just be a careers fair with stalls?
The London Careers Festival prides itself on being more interactive than a careers fair with most stalls at the expo and showcase events having stop-and-try activities that are great for all ages. You can also book onto some of the many workshops and on-location sessions.
Does our existing photo consent count?
What if the school cannot make the session we've booked?
Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reduce the number of pupils on your booking. Many sessions reach capacity quickly and we’d like to have enough time to re-advertise sessions when places become available.
Share us with your colleagues!
The London Careers Festival is open to schools from across London and beyond. We’d love to see more people attend!
Share our newsletter sign up link with your colleagues, so they can be in-the-know.
