For the past eleven years, Basildon Council has proudly hosted the Basildon Skills Show – an annual event dedicated to helping young people make informed decisions about their next career steps and raise the profile of the opportunities available in and around Basildon. Thanks to the support of our partners, the Basildon Skills Show has grown to become one of the premier skills and career events for young people in the region.
Proudly sponsored by Emerson Crane Hire, USP College, The Hill Group, South Essex Colleges Group and our rail sponsor c2c, the 2025 Skills Show will be using a large portion of sponsorship to fund coaches, working with local schools, to arrange dedicated time for their pupils to meet training providers, employers and educational institutes from 9AM to 2PM. The skills show will also be open to the general public to attend 3-6PM.
1,600 residents benefitted from specialist advice, information and knowledge of local opportunities in the previous year.
