We’re proud to continue our partnership with City College Plymouth, using live events as a platform to give students real, practical experience within the events industry.

Through this collaboration, students are immersed in the delivery of large-scale events, gaining hands-on insight across a wide range of sectors — from health and wellbeing to tourism, operations, marketing and customer experience.

This isn’t just about supporting an event; it’s about creating meaningful opportunities for young people to develop industry-ready skills, build confidence, and understand the fast-paced nature of live event delivery.

Partnerships like this play a vital role in bridging the gap between education and employment, helping to nurture future talent while supporting the region’s growing events industry.

We’re looking forward to working with students again in 2026 and continuing to create opportunities that make a real difference.
