You do not need years of experience, a perfect CV or a fully planned career. Bring your ideas, your curiosity and a willingness to get involved.

This event is for young people aged 19 to 25 who are exploring employment or career opportunities, as well as people aged up to 30 who are not currently in employment, education or training, or who face barriers to employment.

Priority for free places will be given to young people living in Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Richmond upon Thames or Sutton. If you live outside these boroughs, you may still register, but your place will be confirmed subject to availability.

Employers and professionals

We also welcome employers and professionals who want to meet young people, share their career experiences and take part in open, relaxed conversations about work, opportunities and what employers are looking for.

WHO WILL YOU MEET?

Alongside Jyoti Mehta and Liz Barclay, contributors include Sheetal Shah, Kem Desia, Warren Trunchion, Mikala Ayers and senior representatives from Croydon Health Services NHS Trust and Croydon Council.

READY TO TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP?

Join UP this September to explore your options, build your confidence and connect with people who can help you move forward.

You may arrive unsure about what comes next, but you will not leave empty-handed.

Places are limited. Register now to take part.
