Hosted by Oxfordshire Careers Hub, Careers Fest is the region’s most anticipated and exciting careers event. It will take place on 20-21 March at The Kassam Stadium, with a ‘twilight’ session for parents and careers on 20 March from 16:30-19:30.

We’re delighted to introduce Abbott as a headline sponsor of Careers Fest 2024. Their generous support has helped to fund transport costs for schools and colleges visiting Careers Fest during the day, enabling more students to attend.

Abbott are dedicated to helping people live more fully, in everything they do. They are creating the future of healthcare through life-changing technologies and products that make people healthier and stronger, quickly identify when they have a medical need and treat conditions to help them get back to doing what they love.

In Witney, they have a world-class technical and manufacturing facility for Abbott’s Diabetes Care business. This is part of the medical device division within Abbott, developing and manufacturing life-changing technologies that enable people with diabetes to live the best and fullest lives they can.

Abbott are committed to supporting the next generation of engineers and technicians. They encourage and support young people to pursue further education through a variety of routes other than university and have been employing apprentices for over 20 years, with many of their earliest apprentices remaining in the business.
