Meet the Employer Event
Meet the Employer Event Tuesday 23rd June 2026 8.45 – 11.05 We would appreciate your help with this event.
When it comes to learning about different career paths, nothing compares to hearing directly from real-life professionals. Having access to people in various fields’ means students can ask detailed questions about these careers, what the day-to-day work looks like, what they need to know, learn or have an interest in, and how they can take steps to get there.
Students will have the option of choosing which employer to meet with and will be with you for an hour. They will be supported by a class teacher during the session. In order to make this a meaningful encounter for the students it would be great if you could talk to them about your personal journey to the career you are in now, the routes taken and how your qualifications have enabled you.
We are particularly interested in hearing from professionals in retail, animal care and construction sectors. Thank you.
