She said: “We are incredibly excited to launch the Marches Career Hub, a valuable network, which will help inspire and prepare the next generation as they consider future careers.
“As well as hearing from Radzi, who will face some questions from students, we’ll have interviews with inspiring enterprise advisers and employers giving their take on why businesses should be engaging with the hub and their future potential employees!
“Our audience will also be invited to ask questions and take part in polls to guide a panel discussion, which will include Marches LEP Chair Mandy Thorn, Maddie Silman from Cornerstone employer Sequani in Herefordshire and enterprise adviser Sacha Welsh from the National Trust.
“Livestream viewers will also be able to catch a live ‘scribe’ session with Hannah Williams of Scribble Inc, whose career choice was setting up a business of her own after leaving education.
