About
SkillsEvents

SkillsEvents brought to you by Optimus Education, are the market leader in delivering skills, career and apprenticeship events across the UK.

We make it possible for thousands of keen, young people along with their key influencers to focus on visualising their future career pathways.

Our events are free to visit and attract thousands of students ranging from ages 14-19, bringing together employers, universities, colleges, and training providers all under one roof.

This allows highly interactive, hands-on activities to spark conversations and advice from industry experts. We aim to reignite the essential passion for career pathways that students so crucially need at this time.

‘It’s not easy organising these events but the young people get so much out of them, it gives them ideas and inspiration moving forward. By attending skillsCymru, pupils realise it’s not just teachers nagging them to attend school and work, they realise that we are setting them up for the future, whether that may be employment or further education.’

Careers Adviser, Pontypridd High School

‘I gained a lot of insight into the pathways that I want to take after sixth form. I now have a clearer idea as to what I will be doing. Thank you to skillsCymru for providing this event for free. Many students, like myself, have very much benefitted from the experience.’
