Are you people thick or what? This is not some kind of recruitment drive its more of an open day for youngsters. I don't think they need worry about being prosecuted under the equality act 2010!
Nope, I'm not thick. Are you?

The purpose of the event wasn't at all obvious (to me at least) from the phrasing of the original post. My assumption was that if 25yo adults have something to gain from it, surely so might I as a 29 year old. In which case why the arbitrary maximum? That was what underpinned my original statement.

I should have thought someone promoting this kind of thing in this day and age would make it their business to do so in a clear manner, consistent with applicable legislation and practises. Mock all you like but you may be glad of these the day you get turned down for a job because of your age.

Agreed from the subsequent posts it sounds like a marketing/PR stunt, more aimed at young kids (i.e. young children).
