Event description

Speed Networking with Year 9

In this session, business volunteers will share insights, lessons and tips to motivate and inspire students to make informed decisions about their future.

Our Year 9 students will be choosing the GCSE subjects they want to study in Year 10. This event is designed to help them make an informed choice for their future and raise their awareness of careers.

Speakers will tell a story about their career journey:
Subjects you studied and how these are relevant now
What inspired you to choose your career path
Your failures, as well as successes
What your company does and why this is important
What you enjoy most about your career
Skills currently relevant in the jobs you are doing now.

There are 49 students in the year group and there will be 10 volunteers. Students will rotate round the volunteers in groups of 4/5 and will spend 10 minutes with each speaker.

The event starts at 14:00 and will finish at 16:15. There will be a break in the middle.

We are an all girls independent school in Caversham, Reading, Berkshire.
