Dorset LEP has joined with nine partners across Dorset, Hampshire and Surrey to host the biggest online Careers and Apprenticeship Show in the south on Thursday 20 May.
The event will feature a full day of interactive webinars, chatrooms, and 70 employer and apprenticeship provider booths to visit.
The evening session, from 5pm to 8pm, will cater to parents with summaries of local industries, job prospects, and educational pathways available to young people.
