On Thursday 12th October, we welcomed representatives from Tesco to run "The Breakfast Meal Deal Workshop" for our Year 7 students. These workshops aimed to provide students with valuable employability skills including teamwork, communication and collaboration. Students were encouraged to discover different job roles within the retail industry and volunteered to take on different positions including Product Developer and Marketing Manager.
This event was well received by the students and all year 7's valued the opportunity to interact and work alongside Tesco representatives. Our thanks go to Tesco for an excellent learning experience!
Some of the feedback from the students:
"When you think of working for an employer like Tesco you think mostly of the people working in the shop, I didn't think of all the other roles getting things onto the shelves and estimating what each shop will need."
"I found it interesting thinking about how to make the supply chain more sustainable."
"It was educational and introduced us to the large variety of jobs available"
