Frequently asked questions

Here are some questions we’ve already been asked about the event.  As we move nearer the event, we’ll continue to post common questions here.

1. Do I have to pay to attend?
   As a local person, the event is free of charge to attend.  However we are charging exhibitors a small fee to help contribute towards the event.
2. What will I get out of it?
   Simply put, as much or as a little as you want.  Whether that’s speaking to experienced careers advisors about how they can help you in more detail, considering options for further training, getting in touch with potential employers or attending the workshops to improve your confidence and gain specific skills.  You can attend just one workshop if you prefer, or come along to everything, it’s up to you.
3. Have you got any future events coming up?
   We are currently talking to other organisations and communities about organising future events in this nature in other areas.  We also run other events, workshops, seminars and conferences, so there may be something of interest to you.  To keep in touch with future events subscribe to our newsletter or email us at kate.cowan@springtoaction.co.uk about your interests.  We’d be pleased to help and if we can’t help you, we usually know someone else who can.
