The Event

This event provides a bespoke forum for the Armed Forces Community (AFC) where you can meet and network with a diverse group of national and international exhibitors.  

Here you can explore and learn about the various industry sectors, what careers are available in the current job market, where qualifications held are sought or what you will need along with meeting potential training providers (ELC Approved Providers), to  gain new qualifications towards future  employment.
