Event description
Careers Carousel
Arrival between 08:30 and 08:45, please; sessions run from 09:10 to 12:30. Participating students are from Year 8 (12 to 13 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?”
