Event description

Come join our Careers Fair at Aldenham School

Aldenham School is a co-educational, independent School for pupils aged 11 – 18, located in the village of Aldenham, Hertfordshire. It is just 13 miles from the city centre, yet set in 110 acres of glorious countryside, providing a spectacular environment in which to live and learn.

Our Careers Fair this September will be attended by both the lower and upper sixth students and their parents. Students from the same year group from local partner schools will also be invited.

The main objective is to inform Year 12 and 13 students and parents about the different work opportunities in various companies and the pathway into that career.

Please note the timings of this fair are 6.00pm - 8.30pm.

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.

The school have also kindly provided a breakdown of the demographic data of students that will be attending, which I thought might be of interest to you, as they are really keen to push school leaver and degree apprenticeship programmes to their school.
