Event description

Primary Schoold assembly - Careers Week

We would like to invite a range of different employers/industries to speak to our primary school children - Year 1-6 (ages 4-11) in an assembly during the week commencing 16.9.24 to inspire them with ideas for their future, talking about careers that the might not have heard of before, what subjects to study and different routes in to careers. THis week is held to open up the children's minds to a world outside the estate on which they live in Stoke-on-Trent and raise their aspirations for the future. Ideally I would like 1 speak for each day of the school week.
We have identifieid 9 career competencies which we teach our children about to prepare them for the working world - it would be great if we could link these to your area of work.

• What they enjoy most about their career

• Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now."
