Broxbourne’s highly anticipated annual careers fair—Generation Broxbourne 2025—opened its doors at The Spotlight Theatre in Hoddesdon, drawing hundreds of eager Year 10 students, local businesses, and community members from across the borough. This vibrant event aimed to showcase the wealth of career opportunities, apprenticeships, and skills training available right on Broxbourne’s doorstep.
At table number 35, Learn Trade Skills proudly demonstrated a hands-on introduction to the basics of electrical work. From interacting with simple circuit boards to discussing advanced techniques in modern electrical systems, our experienced team engaged and inspired students and parents alike, sharing vital information on potential career paths in this exciting trade.

A Day of Inspiration for Local Talent
Generation Broxbourne 2025 was a buzzing hub of local talent. Over 30 companies—including well-known names like Tesco, Google, and the British Army—lined up to provide career guidance, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities specifically tailored for the Broxbourne community. Organised by Broxbourne Council and Hertfordshire Opportunities Portal (HOP), the event served as a crucial link between students and employers, showcasing pathways in fields ranging from trade and finance to construction and defence.
Why Electrical Skills Matter in Broxbourne
Broxbourne’s economy continues to grow, creating a surge in demand for skilled tradespeople—particularly in the electrical sector. As new housing developments emerge and local businesses expand, the electrical trade offers a stable and rewarding career path for aspiring professionals. By showcasing the hands-on aspects of electrical work, Learn Trade Skills aims to ignite students’ passion and encourage them to explore apprenticeships and industry roles.
Our interactive demonstrations involved connecting basic circuits and understanding how electricity powers everyday devices. The tangible experience helped students grasp fundamental safety principles while seeing firsthand just how stimulating a career in the skilled trades can be.
Engaging Schools and Parents
In the morning, we welcomed local schools eager to learn about the scope of electrical work. Students put theory into practice by handling basic components, sparking lively conversations about future prospects in the electrical and construction industries. Later in the day, parents arrived to discuss more detailed aspects of training, qualifications, and apprenticeships.
One of our main goals was to give visitors a feel for everyday tasks that electricians perform. We showed how to strip cable correctly, demonstrated how a basic electrical circuit works, and explained the importance of a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety. By letting students handle tools and components, we helped them see how theory turns into real-world skills.
Learn Trade Skills firmly believes that parental involvement is key in guiding young learners toward fruitful career choices. It was gratifying to witness parents’ enthusiasm and see students gain confidence in their decision-making.
Building Strong Community Connections
Our team also interacted with other exhibitors, including educational institutions and local training providers. Many remarked on the practical nature of our stand and the immediate engagement it sparked with students. We’re thrilled to have received positive feedback and look forward to forging stronger partnerships within the Broxbourne business network.
By working collaboratively with local schools, employers, and community organisations, we help students expand their professional horizons—ensuring that the borough’s future workforce is equipped with the skills and knowledge needed in a rapidly changing job market.
Looking Ahead to March 2026
With Generation Broxbourne 2025 deemed a success, excitement is already building for the next fair in 2026. Learn Trade Skills plans to return with even more immersive demonstrations, updated training programmaes, and fresh opportunities for apprenticeships.
