Careers Fair at St Margaret's RC Primary

About the Business Leaders

These business leaders have been chosen because their companies are growing quickly.

About the teacher and students

The event was created by Paul Nugent for 150 students at St Margaret's RC Primary aged Age 8 - 12.

Event description

Come join our Careers Fair

Business leaders from fast-growing local businesses can join career fairs all year round.
I would like to make it not just a careers fair but a World of Work Week. Business leaders could come into the school and talk to the children in their classrooms at any stage of the week and this would be arranged by the headteacher. The aim is to destroy stereotypes and inspire the children!

Companies will set up stalls in a space set up by the school and may bring business cards, leaflets or some technology to showcase to students. Students will have the opportunity to informally approach lots of different employers, talk to them personally and ask questions. It is important to note that there should be no expectations of any job opportunities being offered by business leaders at a careers fair but this is a great way for students to experience a wide range of businesses in their local community and for businesses to begin to build their talent pipeline.
