Event description

Come join our Careers Fair to inspire the students of our future, giving them an insight to the opportunities available to them.

After the success of last year’s careers fair and as part of our careers advice and guidance we are delighted to once again be running our annual careers fair. The event will be filled with higher education, apprenticeships and local companies and employers for all our students on Thursday 6th February 2020 and we would love for you to attend. As part of my role I am hoping to continue to work with you and raise the aspirations of our students.
We are hoping to have a high number of providers represented and make it even better this year. We have also taken the feedback into account and a few changes have been made. The fair will begin at 10am and will run until 3:30pm with a light lunch being provided from 12:30 till 1pm.
Our careers fair is open to all our feeder primary schools, all years groups from 7 -13 and parents will also be invited from 3pm.
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.
