Event description
Come join our Careers Fair to inspire the next generation about the wide world of careers on offer to them
We want to fill our careers fair full of local business from a wide range of sectors. This day gives our year 10 and 11 pupils the option to meet people with different jobs, find out what they do and how the got the job. This a key time in these pupils education as they are selecting their college options.
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.
