More than 70 national organisations and employers will be there, including sponsors Lockheed Martin, Green King, BP Pulse, H & M, Met Police, British Transport Police, Santander, Ingram Micro, MK NHS Trust, Nikon, Ministry of Justice, and the University of Bedfordshire.

MK Job Show founder Mike Bickerdike said: “This year’s MK Job Show is bigger and more impactful than ever before! There has never been a better time to change career paths due to the ever-increasing cost of living and the amount of local job vacancies available to explore.

“Attendees will get the opportunity to introduce themselves first-hand to their potential new employer, so we strongly advise everyone to bring along copies of their CV, business cards and utilise the event to the best of their ability.
