Highfields is preparing to host its biggest ever Careers Fair to inspire hundreds of students to make the right choices for their future.
Dozens of exhibitors will be showcasing their services during the event, which will take place from 6pm-8pm on Thursday 30th January. It is open to all students, particularly those from Year 9 to Sixth Form.
A number of colleges, universities, training providers and employers from a range of industries will be represented at the Careers Fair, including Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, The British Army, The Royal Navy, Nova Training, Dudley College, City of Wolverhampton College, Birmingham City University, NHS and West Midlands Ambulance Service.
The event will also feature the school’s annual Course Choice Evening, to support Year 9 students in the process of choosing subjects to study in Years 10 and 11. As well as presentations from Headteacher, Mr G Tate, and Head of Middle School and Careers Leader, Mr P Rose, visitors will also be given an insight into the the range of subjects on offer and what they involve with displays on the top floor.
Mr Rose said: “In January each year, the whole school focuses on CEIAG, culminating in the the annual Highfields School Careers Fair.
“This year will be the biggest Careers Fair to date and is an exciting opportunity for students to meet and talk with local businesses and apprenticeship providers, as well as further and higher education institutions.
“We are fully committed to doing all that we can to ensure that all of our students understand the possibilities open to them in the future. This event gives them chance to talk to a vast range of industry professionals to give them a better insight into the many different pathways available, and which would be most suitable for them.”
