Budding business men and women will have the chance to speak to representatives from from HM Revenue & Customs, Princes Trust Youth Business Scotland, Federation of Small Businesses, Business Gateway, Enterprise and Aberdeen College Enterprise for information and advice.
Successful business owners from the North-east will also be on hand during the free event, to talk to students about their achievements.
