Careers Speakers

Want to find out more about what it's really like working in the Outdoors? Visit the Careers Zone at the Outdoors Show this year to catch some inspirational talks from people who have been there and done it!

We have brought together people who work in the outdoors every day to talk about their jobs and their own career journeys. The careers talks are very informal and there will be plenty of opportunity for questions from the audience both during and after each session. To give you an idea what to expect, here are a few of the speakers from our 2010 event...
