Barry to Host Free Apprenticeship and Careers Fair 

09 March 2026

Communities for Work Plus, CELT+, Careers Wales, Vale Youth Service, Vale Economy, and Cardiff and Vale College are coming together to connect people of all ages with education, training, and employment opportunities at an Apprenticeship and Careers Fair in Barry.

The event will take place on Wednesday 11th March 2026, from 10:00am to 2:00pm, at the Memo Arts Centre on Gladstone Road in Barry. 

A designated quiet hour will run from 1:00pm to 2:00pm to support neurodivergent individuals who may find busy or noisy environments challenging. The event is free, drop-in, and open to all ages, with no booking required.

More than 50 employers and organisations are confirmed to attend, including Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff and Vale College, Welsh Government, Admiral, South Wales Police, and many more. 

Attendees will be able to speak directly with employers, take part in short workshops, explore course activities delivered by Cardiff and Vale College, and use an ‘Apply on the Day’ station to take immediate next steps.
