A unique careers fair for students and graduates is set to arrive in Newtown in early September.
Hosted by graduate recruitment company Darogan Talent, 'Find Your Future In Powys' will take place on September 9 at Hafan Yr Afon, Newtown.
This event, free of charge, invites employers from local to global companies to connect, showcase and potentially recruit talented local students and graduates.
Renowned businesses such as BBC Cymru Wales, Dyfed Powys Police, Bute Energy, and InvertTek Drives, among others, will be in attendance.
Attendees will receive free professional headshots for their CVs and LinkedIn profiles, along with complimentary food and drinks.

The wide array of job sectors will allow students to explore careers relating to their course of study and plan the next steps post studies.
Darogan Talent's ongoing summer events aim to address the 'brain drain' in Wales - the trend of skilled students leaving Wales post-graduation.
The event looks to build on the history of employers filling vacancies following engagements with students and graduates.
An example of the success is Owen Chennetier, a Bristol University student living locally in Newtown, who secured an internship having attended a previous Darogan Talent event.
