We are delighted to be taking part in “Paving the Way”, a virtual STEAM Careers Festival hosted by The Pledge
The focus is for Years 9 to 13 and the aim is to inspire and encourage students to set some career related goals. Students will have the opportunity to learn about different career sectors, complete an online careers pack and apply for a virtual job in their chosen field. Eight students will “win” a job after successful completion (prize of Amazon voucher)
