Update on the LCF

The Board received an update on the London Careers Festival and confirmed the revised timeframe: 26 February 2024 to 08 March 2024, noting also that all London schools were welcome to attend.

Members heard that a pre-launch awareness campaign has been run (particularly in view of the earlier date), and bookings for the first week have been launched, with 2041 students booked so far (compared to a total of 2900 for 2023). The online week (the second week) has received 17K school registrations (a gain on the total figures for 2023). Further industry partners have been added including sports and engineering entities, noting the popularity of business start-up sessions.  The Board noted that the delivery partner is Pathway CTM.
