Exhibitor Bookings Open for 2026 Apprenticeships, Jobs & Careers Fairs in Cambridge and Huntingdon

Cambridge Regional College (CRC), Form the Future and the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) are inviting businesses across the region to book exhibitor spaces at their Careers Fairs set to take place in March 2026. These events provide employers with an opportunity to connect with job seekers, future talent and showcase career pathways in the region.

The fairs, funded by the GCP, take place annually during National Careers Week in March and see over 2,000 attendees including students from the college, primary school children, school leavers looking for apprenticeships and local adults seeking work and career changes. Over 60 employers typically exhibit, including leading names from healthcare, construction, technology, and education.

Bidwells, a 2025 exhibitor, said:
“It was a great afternoon where we got the chance to meet so many enthusiastic individuals keen to kick-start their careers. From discussing the ins and outs of our current live apprenticeship roles, to sharing insights into life at Bidwells, we loved answering questions and offering guidance on different career paths. A big thank you for hosting such a great event as always, and allowing us to engage with the next generation of professionals!”

Anne Bailey, CEO and CoFounder of Form the Future said:

“Form the Future is proud to partner with Cambridge Regional College and the Greater Cambridge Partnership to inspire young pupils at the annual Primary Careers Fair. Opening children’s eyes to the world of work at an early age helps them build confidence, raise aspirations, and start imagining exciting futures. Events like this give students the chance to interact with real employers and discover that their talents and interests can lead to a wide range of opportunities.”  

Cambridge University Hospitals, a 2025 exhibitor, commented:
“It was a fantastic event, exceptionally well-organised. A wonderful opportunity to inspire students of all ages, leaving a meaningful impact on their future career choices and helping them make informed decisions.”
