Careers Evening – Tuesday 20 February 6 pm – 8 pm
All pupils will be given the opportunity in school to sign up for the Careers and Course Choice Information Evening. They will also have access to a list of careers talks that are taking place on the night which they can sign up for prior the event.
For health and safety reasons, it is essential that pupils complete the Google Form if they are attending the Careers Evening. We would ask you to encourage your child to take advantage of a great resource and sign up for the stalls and talks available to them. Parent’s can also hear about course choice information in talks that are provided by the Senior Management Team throughout the evening.
The idea behind the Careers Evening is to give young people more information about jobs and careers that may be available in the local area and a chance to talk to people working in those fields.
We hope that this event will give our pupils information and an insight into not only the careers they might want to pursue but also what they will have to do in the next few months or years to prepare themselves more fully for the future.
We would like parents to attend so that you can also gather information which will help you to support your son/ daughter as they make the decisions which will have so much impact on their future. The evening will also help them prepare and make decisions about their course choices for the next year at school.
We have invited local individuals, companies and organisations to provide displays of information about possible jobs or careers in their particular field. Some may have leaflets you can take away with you. Some have also agreed to have personnel present to and answer any questions you may have about:
- Job opportunities
- Pay and benefits
- Training and qualifications required
- Useful subjects to study at school
- What other skills and qualities would be useful.
There will also be a number of talks taking place which pupils can sign up for on Google Forms at the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/iFEwwSrEAPvNQxfu2
The talks will provide them with first hand information about different careers, opportunities and help in certain areas.
Heads of House and Senior Management will also be in attendance to help you answer any questions you may have about the course choice procedures as well as discussing the right choices for your son/daughter.
