Event description

I can do anything day at Gryffe High School

My name is Erika Paterson and I am the Employability Project Leader at Gryffe High School. I am currently looking for professionals to take part in Gryffe High Schools Whole School Employability Event called the 'I Can Do Anything' Day on the 15th June 2018.

Taking part in this day would involve delivering a 25 minute Key Note presentation at an assembly to either P7/S1 or S5 pupils about your job. Taking part in the career fair part of the day would also be optional. This would involve talking to groups of roughly 12-15 pupils about your career, what a typical day in the career is like, the path taken to get there and the skills and qualities needed to do the job. These would be roughly 20 minute slots and would be repeated 4 or 5 times with approximately 12 pupils at a time

I would be delighted if anyone would be interested in taking part.
