Enrichment Week has offered our Year 10 students the opportunity to gain insight into the world of work through our annual Workplace Insight Day on Wednesday 15th July. In partnership with nine employers from our community, groups of 20 students went to spend a half a day in the working environment, speaking to a wide range of professionals about their career journeys and practicing the key skills that are needed in different sectors.
Across all visits students were engaged, curious and enthusiastic – they loved to hear about the different types of work patterns that can be found in the world of work and enjoyed hearing the highlights and challenges our volunteers experienced in their roles. AI was a hot topic in several conversations, and our professionals shared valuable insight to our young people on how it is being used as a tool in their working environment.
