Event description
Come join our Careers Fair - we are providing unique and motivational experiences for our students to inspire them about their futures.
Business leaders from fast-growing local businesses can join career fairs all year round.
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.
Our Careers Fair will be following on from Mock Interviews for all our Year 11 students. The aim is to provide them with as wide a variety of industries as possible, so they can go and ask questions of people who have experienced the world of work, and who can help them think about possible next steps. This should also motivate them in their studies, as they will see concrete examples of people from the working world.
It would be fantastic for the speakers to converse with the students individually, and answer their questions about their own career path and companies. It will be held in our gym, so each person will have their own table on which to display company material if so required.
We have never had an event like this before, and we have also invited parents toward the end of the afternoon, so we are hoping this will set the blueprint for future events - and inspire our young students.
