In July 2021 LiNCHigher and the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership launched d a free online careers fair, aimed specifically at young people aged between 14 and 19. The event was designed to bring employers and students together in a virtual space and was available to schools through the LEP’s and is accessible through the LEP’s custom-built website:
Inside the virtual exhibition hall, young people were able to interact with organisations and employers through instant messages, find out about jobs, and access information on apprenticeships and education courses.
Some of Greater Lincolnshire’s biggest employers were represented at the event, including the NHS, Lincolnshire County Council, the University of Lincoln, and various local colleges and training providers.
