Careers Fest
Each year, we run Careers Fest, Oxfordshire’s most exciting careers event.
Organised by OxLEP Skills’ Oxfordshire Career Hub, Careers Fest returns for 2025 and is set to not only connect young people with some of Oxfordshire’s best employers – but highlight significant career pathways available in the county – with a separate session targeted at parents and carers.
Careers Fest 2025
Careers Fest 2025 took place on 19 and 20 March 2025 at the Kassam Conference & Events Centre in Oxford (OX4 4XP). Students attended during the day with their school.
There was a ‘twilight’ session for parents and carers on 19 March from 16:00-19:00. All families were welcome but we believed this would be most useful for students in Year 9 and above. Download a flyer.
Details about Careers Fest 2026 will be available in due course.

Careers Fest highlights
Wondering what Careers Fest is like? See some of the highlights from 2024 in this short film.
“I had no idea that so much was available in this area and it’s really incredible to know my four children who I brought with me will have all these opportunities surrounding them. It should almost be a compulsory thing for young teenagers to go to Careers Fest!”
