The Outdoors Show Careers Cafe
This year's Careers Cafe at the Outdoor Show proved a big hit and provided visitors with a great insight as to the fantastic array of careers which are available accross the board in our industry.
Over the three days we heard from speakers from as diverse backgrounds as product design, journalism, retail, travel and university, all showcasing the career choices, development and opportunities which are accessible to everyone.
The Café, sponsored by outdoorstaff.co.uk and supported by the OIA, also gave visitors a unique opportunity to speak to the presenters and find out more about how they could either kick start their own careers, or go about a complete change of career from their current industry.
You can see some of the speakers on video here.
The OIA speakers included:
- Matt Swaine, Editor, Trail Magazine
- Wendy Bruton, HR and Training Advisor, Costwold Outdoor
- Amy Spencer, Product Designer, Berghaus
- Don Gladstone, Marketing and Training Director, Anatom
- Dr Mark Taylor, Research Fellow, University of Leeds
- Sam Fountain, Inventor and Director, SheWee
- Charles Ross, Sportswear Design, University College Falmouth
