Hundreds of young people have been fired up about their futures after attending Surrey’s first ever Festival of Skills.
The free one-day careers event provided hundreds of local students the chance to connect with and learn more about some of the county's brightest businesses and training providers.
More than 1,300 people from schools and colleges across Surrey attended the event, engaging with 80 exhibitors, including Samsung, British Airways, Pfizer UK and BAE Systems.
Public sector institutions were represented with the Animal and Plant Health Agency, NHS England, HM Armed Forces and Surrey Fire and Rescue Service among those attending.
Star attractions on the day included a prototype supercar worth more than £2 million created by Guildford-based Gordon Murray Automotive and a robotic dog, which construction firm Balfour Beatty are using on the current M25 improvements and other major schemes.
The event was organised and funded by Surrey County Council, with support from the Association of Learning Providers Surrey (ALPS) and Surrey Event Professionals.
