Haydon Bridge High School students attended a school jobs fair this week.
Hosted at the school, the event was delivered by Joe Morris MP and the North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC).
The fair included businesses from across the North East who discussed career pathways and opportunities with the pupils.
Mr Morris said: "It was a real pleasure to join students, staff and exhibitors at Haydon Bridge High School to discuss career opportunities for students.
"Students had a strong sense about their interests and what their plans are once they finish school, and it's clear that students at Haydon Bridge are hugely talented.
"I would like to say a big thank you to all the organisations and businesses that attended the fair, and I look forward to co-hosting the next one in another local school."
A spokesperson for the MP said: "The event is part of a wider effort to ensure young people in the region are aware of and inspired by work opportunities on their doorstep, helping to retain local talent and skills and support North East businesses in building their future workforce.
