Designed for visitors to learn more about a particular skill, the courses they can study and the career paths available to them, Showcase performances are intended to surprise and inspire visitors through a highly visual, stimulating and entertainment-led programme. Demonstrating the skills of students, trainees or apprentices in front of around 75,000 people, the Showcase programme is one of the focal points of The Skills Show, and with limited places available, competition to be selected to perform is likely to be high.
