About the teacher and students
The event was created by John Riddell for 200 students at Seaham High School aged Age 14 - 15.
Event description
Raise the students’ awareness of various careers; raise their employability skills
Arrival between 08:30 and 08:45, please; sessions run from 09:10 to 12:30. Participating students are from Year 10 (14 to 15 years old). Volunteers can choose to be either Careers Speed Daters or Classroom Ambassadors.
Careers Speed Daters
Volunteers will be questioned about their jobs by small groups of students, in a sequence of short “speed dates” (approx. 7 minutes each. No prep required; the students are provided with suggested questions).
Classroom Ambassadors
Each session will be in a classroom, led by a teacher; volunteers will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the class, then help the students with careers-related tasks, as set by their teacher; for example, “who is a good role model?”, “what motivates you to go to work?”, “what do employers look for?”
