Highfields is marking National Careers Week 2020 with a packed programme of activities, workshops and trips, encouraging students to look forward to life after school.
Each day will begin with a CEIAG-themed assembly, delivered by special guest visitors from various industries and higher education providers, before form time quizzes and research sessions.
Careers-based lessons will be taking place throughout the week, whilst there will also be talks about apprenticeships, interview skills and CV writing workshops.
The event runs from March 2nd-6th, with activities taking place every day to give students from all year groups a greater insight into a range of professions and pathways available to them to fulfil their career dreams.
The school has teamed up with a number of universities and businesses, as well as apprenticeship and training providers, to support the national event.
The programme of activities includes a trip to Molineux organised by the Wolves Foundation, whilst Sixth Form students will get an insight into career opportunities in the Armed Forces.
Mr P Rose, Highfields’ Head of Middle School and Careers Leader, said: “We’ve got lots going on around school every day throughout the week to mark National Careers Week.
“It is all about encouraging students from all year groups to look forward to the future and learn more about the opportunities available to them to fulfil their career dreams after school.”
The week-long event comes after Highfields hosted its biggest ever Careers Fair, which featured dozens of exhibitors and was attended by hundreds of students and their families.
