Exhibitors were stationed in the Main Hall and Chambers, offering one-on-one interactions with university representatives.
In addition, a series of focused talks were held in the Lecture Theatre to provide students with valuable insights into preparing for higher education and apprenticeships.
These included sessions on writing personal statements, understanding student finance, and an introduction to apprenticeships, all aimed at helping students make informed decisions about their futures.
In the evening, the Careers Fair saw students and their families connect with more than 50 employers, including successful alumni, representing a wide variety of professional industries.
This provided students with the chance to speak directly with professionals and gain insights into different career paths, apprenticeship opportunities, and progression routes.
David Handy, director of admissions, marketing, and progression, said: "It was fantastic to see so many students engaging with universities, employers, and former students.
"These events provide invaluable opportunities for our students to explore their options and make informed decisions about their future."
