Talent Showcase Workshop matching students with business

Visit Buckinghamshire: Boost, in partnership with Buckinghamshire College Group and Skill Up Bucks, welcomed 66 students to the Talent Showcase Workshop, linking students to potential employers in the tourism and hospitality sectors.

The event, which took place in May at Buckinghamshire College Group’s Aylesbury Campus, provided students searching for jobs the opportunity to meet businesses, share what they have to offer, whilst also developing their interview skills and finding out more about the opportunities available.

In addition, businesses and students had the opportunity to engage with industry partners including The Institute of Hospitality Thames Valley Branch, the UK Spa Association, and ambassadors from the industry charity Springboard.

Lucy Milton, Head of Business Development and Sales at Buckinghamshire College Group, said: “Buckinghamshire College has been delighted to work in partnership with Buckinghamshire Business First hosting the first talent Showcase Workshop for Hospitality which gave our final year students the opportunity to meet leading employers in hospitality.

"The event helped students learn first-hand about the sector, what training is available, what to expect from a career in the industry and most importantly how to get started. Students gained inspiration for their careers whilst networking with leading employers from the area. An inspiring event which has given a huge boost to the start of their job searches and career choices.”

The workshop included presentations and a Q&A followed by interviews between employers and students which were split into focused sessions in tourism, hospitality, sport, beauty and hair.

This event was part of Visit Buckinghamshire: Boost, a now-closed programme of support that was delivered in partnership by Visit Buckinghamshire, Buckinghamshire Business First and Buckinghamshire Council, and funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund*.

Skill Up Bucks is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF).
