Careers Fair

The life of a railway volunteer is never dull. Today we are attending the Norfolk & Suffolk Skills and Careers Festival which is an annual event aimed at young people to help inspire them for their future career and to demonstrate the various options available. It's held at the Norfolk Showground, and groups from schools and colleges attend in organised time slots throughout the two-day festival. 

We're here to market ourselves to students and teachers alike, offering volunteer roles and the Youth Development Club. People also ask about work experience opportunities and apprenticeships.


We have a shovel, hats and flags for people to take selfies, and we are running a competition with multiple choice questions and a trip on a train for the whole class of the student who makes the winning entry.

Lot's of people come and talk to us - but not as many as frequent the ice cream machine next door.
