The two-day careers and education event will take place at the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Balmoral Park in Lisburn.
The event will bring together representatives from universities, industries and businesses from across the country.

Now in its second year in Northern Ireland, this annual event has turned into the top destination not only for pupils and teachers but also for universities, employers and businesses.
The event will showcase courses, early careers and apprenticeships on offer and will be a networking opportunity for exhibitors and schools alike.

It’s an excellent Summit for students to start thinking about their future steps and get an insight into various career options, apprenticeships and courses on offer.”
