Picture
Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Orkney and Skills Development Scotland are hosting the fourth Orkney Careers Fair on Thursday 1 October 2026.

This event follows on from our successful events in 2018, 2022 and 2026 which were attended by over 60 exhibitors including employers, universities and colleges, local training providers and support agencies.  In 2024, we welcomed over 900 visitors to the event, including all S4-S6 pupils from the local secondary and Junior High Schools, and some S3 pupils.

The Orkney Careers Fair 2026 will be held in The Arena, The Pickaquoy Centre, Kirkwall from 9.30am until 6pm and will again be open to all S4-S6 school pupils, students from UHI Orkney and the general public.

This FREE event is a fantastic opportunity for you to engage directly with young people, their parents and the wider public to discuss the various career opportunities that exist in Orkney and the learning and training pathways available to help them achieve their chosen careers.
