As a careers adviser I'm passionate about bringing together education and training providers, employers, and stakeholders for meaningful engagements with young people in schools. However, one of the greatest challenges I face is the lack of clear contact details for specific organisations, particularly companies and apprenticeship training providers when trying to arrange careers events. Despite sending invitations months in advance and diligent follow-ups, it's disheartening to receive no response. Even more frustrating is finally reaching the right person, only to be told they can't attend due to short notice. Universities and colleges usually have dedicated liaison teams, yet even they sometimes fail to respond promptly. It's maddening when a response arrives just weeks before the event, deeming it too short notice, despite the initial invitation being sent months prior. I know that this happens to most of us who organise events but I'm curious if anyone else in the careers community has encountered similar challenges and if there are any platforms or tools available to streamline this process, making it less time-consuming and more efficient.#careers #events #careersfair
