A radically different careers expo.
WEDS 25th FEB 10am—5pm
Coles, Sheffield
FORM is a one-day careers expo for students and graduates who want to explore careers in designing, building and managing the places we live - without awkward networking, standing behind stalls, or pretending to have it all figured out. It’s designed to help you build confidence and leave with a clearer sense of what could come next.
Short, honest talks from people working across architecture, construction, project and site management, engineering, planning, design and skilled trades - including those who’ve changed direction, taken risks, or followed non-traditional routes into work
Morning (10:00–12:00)
Reserved for college groups attending via tutor registration.
Afternoon (13:00–17:00)
Open to university students and graduates exploring next steps.
Small-group, facilitated activities designed to help you think differently about skills used on site, in studios and in offices, as well as confidence and opportunity. You can take part, listen, or dip in and out - whatever feels right.
A visual journey showing how careers in construction, design and related industries actually unfold - rarely straight, often surprising, and shaped by people, chance and decisions as much as qualifications.
Listen to recorded career stories from people working across the industry and revisit them afterwards whenever you need a reminder that there’s no single right route into work.
FORM is free to attend, but places are limited, so you'll need to register. Once you check in, your registration is automatically entered into the FORM prize draw.
