Posted on : 12 Oct 2023

The popular Which Way Now? Event, hosted by Caerphilly County Borough Council, will return on 25th October 2023.

Previously, the event has attracted hundreds of young people who are seeking employment, education, or training opportunities. This time, it will be open to anyone in the public over the age of 16 who is unemployed or job searching that wants some information and support, between 10am and 1pm.

Which Way Now? is in partnership with Careers Wales and is jointly organised by CCBC’s Youth Service and Caerphilly Employability Programmes, which aims to support school leavers and young people who are looking for advice and inspiration on what career path to take next. It also aims to focus young people on upcoming exams and shows them potential careers they could go into.

There will be a diverse range of employers and training providers attending who will offer a wide range of advice, training, job opportunities and even some opportunities for same day interviews.

Some examples of what to expect to see on the day include:

Information on college courses from Coleg Y Cymoedd and Coleg Gwent
Information on higher education and university opportunities
Information on apprenticeships and Jobs Growth Wales Plus
Local job vacancies
General careers guidance
Help with job search skills
Same day interviews

There will be a DJ playing live music throughout the day, and there will also be a draw which attendees can enter for the chance to win a one-month free leisure membership.

We are dedicated to providing young people with the Young Person’s Guarantee- a Welsh Government commitment that everyone under the age of 25 would have the offer of support to gain a place in education or training, find a job or become self-employed.

Cllr. Carol Andrews, Cabinet Member for Education & Communities, commented “Following our success in previous years, I am pleased that we are able to host the Which Way Now? Event for a second time in 2023 alongside Careers Wales, with the event this time being open to anyone over the age of 16. We remain committed to giving all young people in the borough access to education and employment opportunities.”

Which Way Now? will be held in Caerphilly Leisure Centre on Wednesday 25th October between 10am and 1pm.
