This is our ELEVENTH KEVI Inspires event in nine years. We are absolutely delighted to be able to welcome families, business and education partners into school to inspire our students and further fuel their ambition.
As part of our commitment to supporting young people to make decisions about the next stage of their education or training and their future career, we have brought together representatives from a varied range of businesses, institutions and organisations across a wide range of sectors to provide parents/carers and young people with the best and most up to date information, advice and guidance.
It is an opportunity for parents/carers and young people to:
Be informed: discover the different options and opportunities Post 16 and Post 18 to continue their education/training beyond school, or to get their first job
Be advised: receive accurate and up-to-date information about the industry or sector they aspire to have a career in, direct from people who work in and represent that industry/sector
Be inspired: if they are unsure what they want to do, provide them with the opportunity to begin narrowing down their ideas
Be motivated: identify their short and long-term aspirational career goals, and the steps they will need to take in order to achieve them
Make connections: speak to and network with local and national education providers and employers who might be able to help them achieve their career goals, now or in the future. Establish links for work experience.
We hope that the information on this micro-site will assist you in planning your evening so that everyone is able to gain maximum benefit.
King Edward's Inspires goes from strength to strength. Information and advice can be triangulated via Unifrog or our impartial Student Mentors.
Unifrog is a platform which helps students explore their interests, find options for post-studies, and successfully apply to their next steps.
Students are encourages to log their interactions and reflections at the event on their Unifrog profile.
