Year 10 Career Explorer Week – 18th May

Working in collaboration with Varndean school, ‘Cities of Learning’ and ‘Future Creators” next week we have organised a programme of work insight webinars. We would really like as many Year 10’s to access the webinars as possible. Please see the list below of who’s on the panels for each day.
Simply by accessing the webinars students earn themselves an achievement badge, which has further layers to develop on, giving them opportunity to extend their knowledge and develop skill sets. These badges will be recognised by local employers and colleges and they can use them to showcase their lockdown learning time was used effectively to broaden their skills/ employer engagement.
Unfortunately, the Year 10 work experience programme and college taster days have been cancelled. These webinars won’t exactly replace what we had lined up for Year 10’s in July but, it will give students multiple opportunities to engage with employers/local colleges and listen about skills that are valued in the workplace. There will be a monitored Q & A session after each webinar.
