We were delighted to welcome fifteen OCs and guests to Collegiate School on Friday 23rd February for a Networking Lunch event.

The students were great ambassadors for the School and really got a lot out of the event. It was delightful to see how much more self-assured they became over the hour with their confidence clearly growing as they navigated their way through conversations around being a pilot, having a career in STEM, being a detective, knowing what it was like to be an art entrepreneur or to work in PR, as just some of the careers represented. I am sure Year 13 will look back on this experience in the future and value it as an essential part of their preparation for the world of work. The discussions around the various careers which we had represented were extremely valuable and the students found talking to our employers incredibly informative. And it certainly got some of them thinking!

We really valued the time which our OCs and visitors gave up from their busy working lives and we would like to thank them for the support which they gave to our students.  If you would like to be involved in a future careers event at Collegiate School please contact LCarleton@collegiate.org.uk
