ITS (UK) supports Traffex Futures Day
Traffex – Europe’s biggest highways and transport technology show of the year – is dedicating Thursday 4 April as “Futures Day” inviting students, apprentices and graduate trainees along to view the exhibition and take part in discussions.
The initiative is supported ITS (UK) and other organisations such as the Institute of Highways Engineers and ADEPT. It will feature discussions relevant to the next generation of industry professionals including discussions about continuous professional development, how to shine without being a showoff and an interactive Q and A session with industry executives who’ll give tips on how to progress.
Traffex Head of Content Paul Hutton explained, “We often hear people complain that they struggle to recruit good people, so here is an opportunity for people to engage with the next generation on their exhibition stands and show what a huge and exciting array of things our industry does, and therefore offers a choice of career options to fit a wide range of skills and interests.”
Exhibitors are already planning demonstrations on their stands, including WJ who will show how their road marking material is mixed. Others are pledging to bring their apprentices and other new recruits along to take part.
Futures Day is open to any young professional, or student interested in the sector as a career, as long as they are over 16 years of age. To sign up go to https://registration.n200.com/survey/2ib4h0pec1f98.
