Are you interested in a career in education but outside of the traditional classroom context?

Do you want to find out about careers where you can use your knowledge of education in a different setting?

This is your opportunity to hear in person from five people working in a diverse range of education roles in and around Bristol. They will talk about their current area of work, opportunities to gain relevant work experience, and advice on how to enter the sector. There will be plenty of time for you to ask them your questions too.
