We celebrated National Careers Week creating a short film of one of our Business Breakfast session at Ashcroft High School.
These BESP events consist of a number of employers and business who volunteer their time to come and speak to Year 10 students in a "speed networking" session. Each group (up to 4 students) get a chance to ask the employers questions about their career journey and pathways, Each round lasts 6 minutes before the students move to the next table.
We were joined again by Greta Zabulyte who helped film the day. We hope to share the video soon.
We always get fantastic feedback from both the employers and students after the events. If you wish to volunteer some time to help on any of our future BESP dates, please email us.
