On Thursday 22 September 2016, all Year 11 students enjoyed the opportunity to attend a careers fair at Cressing Temple Barns.
Students were able to meet with representatives in an informal setting to gather information from both further education centres; including sixth forms, colleges and apprenticeships; and employers such as the NHS, the army, the Royal Navy and McDonalds.
Students were able to walk around two barns, finding out more information to help them plan towards their future pathways. Information gathered during this event will be followed up in PDT lessons to ensure all students are fully prepared for their post-16 options. More information can be found on the PDT display board in the corridor.
Ethan Mercer – “The careers fair was good because it opened up my mind on what I could do in the future, after I leave school.”
Abby Guilder – “The careers fair was brilliant as it had a big impact on the decisions I am making about my future. It really helped me understand the path I need to take when I leave school, to be able to achieve what I want to do. It also made me have a clearer understanding of the steps I need to take to achieve this.”
Emily Heissig – “The careers fair was very useful and informative. I got to find out the best place I want to go for sixth form and what I need to do to get there. I now have many different options as to what I can do after sixth form, and what I want to do as a job in the future.”
Kieran Castle – “It gave a range of different ideas about job opportunities to people that don’t know what they want to do.”
