No single event. No venue. Just Cumbria celebrating our amazing careers together on 4th March 2026.
Cumbria Careers Day is a county‑wide moment of celebration—a shared day during National Careers Week when everyone shines a spotlight on the huge range of career opportunities available across Cumbria.
On Wednesday 4th March 2026, organisations across the county can take part in their own way, from schools and colleges to employers, universities and the third sector.
There’s no single venue and no central event to attend. Instead, everyone celebrates from their own setting using activities, resources and ideas that highlight careers in Cumbria.
From Advanced Manufacturing to Health and Social Care, Fashion, Food and Drink, Logistics, Construction, Law, Nuclear, Hospitality, Agriculture, Finance and more—Cumbria has something for everyone, and Cumbria Careers Day is a chance to showcase that.
Each year, we’ll dedicate one day during National Careers Week to focus on Cumbria and invite all organisations—large or small—to get involved in whatever way works for them.
