Event description
Inspire our students
Inspire our students with our 'Life after CANDI' talks to highlight the skills needed for success beyond A levels. All students will be in their 2nd year of A level study and will have applied to either University/Jobs or Apprenticeships.
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.
