Royal College of Podiatry attendance at UK careers fairs

RCPod at UK Careers Fairs

As part of our careers outreach activities, from August to early November the Royal College of Podiatry (RCPod) will be attending 16 careers events across the UK organised by UK Careers Fair. The events we are attending are matched with geographical areas in which universities offer podiatry courses.

We have booked a premium stand at each of these events, which allows us the space to have a good cohort of podiatry representatives, and space for interactives and promotional materials. We are guaranteed a prime spot on the exhibition floor.

Our target audiences will be:

• 16-19 years-olds who have chosen the “science” route in their subject choice; and
• Careers changers.

We are hoping that at each event our stand will be manned by:

• Recruitment staff and students from higher education institutions (HEIs)
• RCPod regional branch members
• Regional NHS Foundation Trust podiatry recruitment representatives.

How you can help

We are now looking for members who work in private practice, and those who work for the NHS, to support us on the day and help promote podiatry as a career choice. 

The events will run for approximately four hours, starting at 10am and finishing at 2pm. The College has already purchased tickets so there is no charge for you to attend.

We are confident that these will be positive and proactive days for all: a chance to network with university teams, and NHS recruitment teams, as well as an opportunity to promote the profession of podiatry to the next generation of podiatrists.

The dates and venues for these events are listed below. If you are available and willing to support the College at any of these events, we would love to hear from you.
