Careers Fayre
This term, we hosted the Annual Barnwood Park Careers Fayre, welcoming around 30 companies, schools, colleges and Alternative Provision providers. Exhibitors represented a wide range of sectors, from archaeology and travel to the Army, construction, engineering, football and stonemasonry, giving students the opportunity to explore a broad variety of career pathways and speak directly with professionals from many industries.
In the Careers Café this year, representatives from the Air Force and the Civil Service spoke with students about their own career journeys. We also extended the Careers Café concept across the exhibition stands, enabling students not only to learn about the organisations represented but also to hear personal insights into the exhibitors’ individual career paths.
There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the event, with a real buzz as meaningful conversations took place, ideas were sparked and questions were thoughtfully asked and answered.
Feedback from the day was overwhelmingly positive. Exhibitors praised the students for their politeness, thoughtful questions and excellent behaviour, while students reported that the event had opened their eyes to a wider range of possibilities within the world of work.
