Careers Events and information
Do you know about various National and Local careers related events?
For pupils interested in becoming an entrepreneur you could consider the Teenage Market movement – regular market stall spaces free to young business people, (link to Teenage Markets https://theteenagemarket.co.uk)
Each year National Careers Week takes place in the spring. In school we try and involve everyone by asking teachers to include one aspect of something that links their subject to careers in each lesson that week. ( http://nationalcareersweek.com/ )
To support those looking for Modern Apprenticeships a week in spring is set aside to advertise different aspects of this type of training nationally (https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/national-apprenticeship-week-2020)
