In February we held our first annual Careers Fair in the newly built Newland building. A variety of employers and Higher Education institutes attended the two-day event and were able to talk to and advise pupils with their career questions and career opportunities.
Pupils in Years 10 and 11 attended the event to assist them with their post-16 options and long-term career goals. Members of the sixth form were particularly interested in the assistance and advice offered from the Cambridge school liaisons officer who was able to share valuable knowledge about what makes a good University application with pupils.
The organisations that attended the Careers Fair were from a variety of industries such as catering, finance, the motor trade, the local council and trading standards to name a few. The Armed Forces were represented with all three forces in school and found themselves to be very busy and for their stalls to be well attended. Higher Education Institutes also attended the event including Trinity and All Saints College, University of Huddersfield and Cambridge University. The Higher Education Institutes handed out prospectuses to the pupils and discussed the courses available.
Pupils enjoyed the two-day event and came away with free pens, pencils and other promotional gifts, but most importantly a clearer idea of the opportunities available beyond their time at St. Wilfrid’s.
