We host Design Your Future (a Careers Fair) event.  Provided by ‘Learning To Work’, it is an interactive virtual event where students are able to explore a variety of career paths by having conversations and seeing professional exhibits/presentations from inspirational employees of many prestigious companies from a whole range of career-disciplines. Our Year 12s are supported and trained to create a competitive UCAS application after in-depth investigation and research into possible universities. Other exit options are also discussed; routes such as apprenticeships, internships, employment etc.

In the summer term, an annual Year 12 Futures Week event is held which offers a wide range of career and ‘next-step’ activities to help our students make focused plans for their future. There will be opportunities to develop personal branding and will meet industry ambassadors.

This day, which is run by 'Learning to Work', is made up of 3 workshops with the aim of providing students with a better understanding of the interview/ selection process and how to be successful in an interview.
