Career Convention 2022

What a success!
31 Mar 2022
Alumni News

On Tuesday 22 March, the annual Careers Convention took place. It was a great success with many people attending. There were plenty of exhibition stands showing potential careers for our students from Years 10, 11 and 12. Students were able to talk to industry professionals and learn more about the skills and qualifications needed as well as learn about the different entry routes for their chosen profession. Advice on studying abroad, gap years and university options were also available.

Several seminars were presented throughout the evening from OIs, such as Zoe Evers (Class of 2017) from Newcastle University and Olivia Philips (Class of 2017) from University of Sheffield, both talks were completely sold out and we are incredibly grateful for the advice they offered our students.

We also had OI Antonia Ridley (Class of 2012) from Ashtons Legal, who gave an interesting talk on Modern Languages and Law. She presented to a group of 30 students about her past experiences and how she went through university and into her career.
The whole evening was incredibly informative and it was interesting to talk to so many people.

Thank you to all OIs who contributed to the successful evening.
