Each year group will have an hour throughout the day to attend the event and speak with various employers and education providers.
There is good evidence that young people particularly benefit from careers events that expose them to adults with first-hand experiences of the jobs they are discussing. This gives our students exposure to many different pathways they can take post-16 and holds such value for them.
The Careers Fair looks to be a fantastic day and aligns with the values we have at Ark Charter, linking to our careers programme. We want our young people to leave well informed and positive about their future goals. These events involve a range of volunteers coming together to speak with young people about their jobs in a carousel-type situation. It is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain insight into different careers and education pathways.
Your child will receive a Careers Day booklet on Monday. This includes a small amount of pre-work, a question bank, information, and some reflective feedback to complete at the back.
We look forward to holding this great event for them and supporting them in the most positive way.
