CTP employment fair York

Event Overview

The CTP Employment Fairs are designed to support the transition of Service leavers and Veterans from military to civilian life. These events connect attendees with forces-friendly employers who recognise and value the unique skills developed through military service.

Whether participants are exploring new career paths or actively seeking employment, the fairs provide direct access to employers, expert advice, and a supportive environment tailored to their needs.

The York fair is open from 10:00 to 14:00, with sign-in from 09:30.

Please note: Attendance is exclusive to serving and ex-military personnel and their families who have pre-registered through the Career Transition Partnership. The events are not open to the general public.
