Mid Ulster Labour Market Partnership, in partnership with South West College are hosting the third annual Tech for the Future event on Wednesday 1st October 2025 at South West College’s Dungannon Campus. Local employers, training providers and careers advisors will be in attendance to demonstrate the wealth of IT and Tech roles available within Mid Ulster, within a range of industry sectors where advances in IT and automation has resulted in a huge need for these skills to sustain our labour force.
Local residents working in IT/Tech departments will welcome post primary students and their parents/guardians to introduce roles across a range of Mid Ulster businesses to inspire the next generation of talent. Equipment/kit used within business will be demonstrated on the night to give a hands-on, interactive experience.
Guest speakers and exhibitors will discuss how IT shapes our daily lives, the benefits of working in IT and Tech and the different pathways into a career in IT, no matter what the educational background.
Speak with a range of Mid Ulster employers, 1 to 1, about local opportunties and career pathways.
There will also be various support organisations available to offer one to one advice and guidance on career pathways such as DfE Careers Service.
Plus, Students who attend and complete an exit survey will be entered into a draw for an iPad. There will also be some mini challenges and winners will be entered into another draw for a chance to win a Smart Watch!
