Highfields School opened its doors on January 31st for its annual Careers Fair and Year 9 Course Choice Evening. The event attracted a diverse range of over 60 exhibitors, offering students, parents, and carers invaluable insights into future pathways.
The Careers Fair provided a platform for local and national employers, colleges, apprenticeship and training providers, as well as universities, to engage directly with students. This event was not just about providing information; it was about fostering connections and inspiring aspirations.
Students had the chance to interact with representatives from various industries, gaining firsthand knowledge about potential career paths and learning about the skills and qualifications required to succeed in their chosen fields. From apprenticeships to university degrees, the fair catered to the diverse interests and ambitions of Highfields students.
Parents and carers also played an integral role in the event, accompanying their children and actively participating in discussions with exhibitors. The fair offered a supportive environment for families to explore options together, ensuring that students receive the guidance and encouragement needed to make informed decisions about their futures.
Simultaneously, the Year 9 Course Choice Evening provided crucial guidance for students as they navigate their academic journey with us here at Highfields. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the wide range of subjects the school has to offer, helping them make informed choices about their future studies.
The combination of the Careers Fair and Year 9 Course Choice Evening created a dynamic and informative atmosphere, empowering students to make confident decisions about their education and career paths. By bringing together a diverse array of exhibitors and resources, Highfields School reaffirmed its commitment to providing comprehensive support for its students' aspirations.
This years event was our biggest Careers Fair ever, and whilst we do say that every year, it remains to be true. All of us here at Highfields look forward to building on the success of the event and will continue to provide valuable opportunities for our students to explore, grow and succeed in the future.
