Event description

Inspire our students to the world of Work

In this session, business leaders will share insights, lessons and tips to motivate and inspire your students to make informed decisions about their future.

Speakers will ‘tell a story’ about their career journey:
• Subjects they studied and how these are relevant now
• What inspired them to choose their career path
• Their failures, as well as successes
• What their company does and why this is important
• What they enjoy most about their career
• Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now.

Our students have Special needs, some complex, they cannot always see the point of study especially Maths and English. Some of our boys are very hands on and like practical work. If you feel you can talk about your experiences of school and engage a small audience of no more than 7 students, please get in contact!
