PVA CAREERS FAIR – Thursday 23rd March 2023

24 Mar 2023

It is never too early to start to get young people to think about their future and for them to receive valuable information on the different options available. Such information allows balanced and considered decisions.  Our varied and ambitious careers programme helps our students with this process.

This annual event provides all PVA students, across all year groups, the opportunity to visit the fair where employers from a vast range of employment join us. These included the NHS, Armed Forces, Nottinghamshire Police, and The Department for Work & Pensions, DHL, Catalent, Plastek UK Ltd, HSBC, Hollies Day Nurseries, Nottingham City Homes, Lovell, Gedling Borough Council, KH Hair and many local, national and global businesses. Each exhibitor spent time talking to students about different careers and job roles. Some were also promoting current apprenticeships.  Employers appreciated the opportunity to talk to employees of the future. 

In addition, local FE and HE providers attended to give students information about post 16 options.  Students were keen to engage with exhibitors and find out as much as they could about each individual company/college. Not only did they find it useful, they really enjoy the experience. Feedback from everyone was really positive and students felt better informed.

The academy would like to say a huge thank you to all the exhibitors and people who came along to support us with this event. If you are interested in becoming an employer partner and working with the academy, please visit employer’s page on or website for further information.
