📣 Calling ALL Employers, Colleges & Universities!

✅ This year’s Calderglen High School Pathways event will take place on Wednesday the 9th of September 2026 from 5-7pm in partnership with DYW LED!

❓ Can you help support our pupils making their own career and subject choices?

✅ The event will run like a traditional careers fair, allowing young people and their parents or carers the chance network with a range of partners to gain knowledge and insights into different career sectors.

✅ We plan on opening this event to S2-6 pupils after some key feedback from parents and guardians last session and we hope you can attend with:

▪️ Some employer information for the evening

▪️ Exhibitors materials to create an eye-catching display – this can include pop up banners, posters, and other floor-standing items. You will have access to table space for any free-standing tabletop items for display.  

▪️ We encourage you to bring along any leaflets, business cards, or other handouts as young people and parents/carers love to have something to take home to continue discussions.  

✅ The event itself will last for 2 hours however, we would ask for you to arrive early to allow you to set up. 

✅ School finishes at 3pm on a Wednesday so I would advise arriving just before this as the front of the school does get very busy. We will open our overflow car park for you to ease drop off’s.

✅ There will be some refreshments on the evening to keep you going, as we know it’s a long day! 

☎️ Call 01355 588620 or email Kayleigh on 📩 [email protected] to attend as an exhibitor, and we look forward to welcoming you all at Calderglen High School!
