Event description
Inspire our students help them to achieve their dreams
Business leaders participate in a series of short, focused conversations about specific career questions and topics. Business leaders meet a limited number of mentees in 10-minute time slots each.
These encounters should be set up as a student-led, ‘carousel’-style activity, where groups of students move between different business leaders, with pre-prepared quick-fire questions.
Speed mentoring offers students the opportunity to ask meaningful questions to a range of different business leaders, to gain an insight into their working life and receive advice on the skills that are needed to be successful in today’s economy.
This event is going to be part of a 2 day event which will focus on giving our Year 10 students an insight into the world of work. The event is going to be held at Northampton University and the Speed Networking Workshop will repeat 4 times throughout the day and will last for 45 minutes each session.
If you able to stay for all four that would be amazing if you can only do 1 or 2 of them thats also amazing the more volunteers we can get the better.
This day is being held on 15th and 16th July so half of the year group will be there each day. Whatever you can do to support this would be appreciated.
