On Wednesday 15 May, we hosted a Year 12 employer engagement event called ‘Speed Networking’. The concept was for our students to meet and find out as much as possible about our mystery employers’ jobs. They only had 4 minutes to do it before moving onto someone else.
With representatives present from nearly 50 companies and organisations including National Grid, the NHS, banking and media to name but a few, the students were spoiled for choice.
The feedback from the employers and students has been extremely positive, with employers commenting on how engaged the students were and students commenting on how beneficial they found the networking to be. This event, and others like it, will enhance and strengthen our education and business connections which ultimately serve to help our students better understand the world of work.
