For the following events we are still looking for volunteers and would sincerely appreciate your help.

We need your help in interviewing these students and giving them feedback. Also, if interested you could take part in a communication and/or problem solving exercise, observing students at work and giving them feedback.

This event is an introduction to CV writing and interviewing skills. We need 4 volunteers who are happy to talk to a class of 20-30 students. This event will be followed by a mock interviewing event next year.
24-Jun-2015: Foundation Learner event, 09.00-12.00
Teachers of our special schools want to meet employers who want to support our foundation learners. Could you offer work experience placements or discuss future employment possibilities for students with additional needs or lower academic ability? Then please do sign up and come along. You will have an open discussion with school staff about what you can offer and to learn what the students could do. Your help will be highly appreciated.
01-Jul-2015: Bassingbourn 13.00-15.00 Careers Carousel
You will lead small groups of students in 20-30 minute workshops explaining what you do, careers in your field and how to get there. Incorporating a short activity can help give them a better idea.
15-16-Jul-2015: Parkside, Employability
This event is an introduction to employability, and is designed to give students the experience of the sorts of assessments used in recruitment. There will also be panel discussions to introduce students to a range of career pathways including apprenticeships.
Apart from the Foundation Learner event, these are all for year 10 students.
We also have some 60 year 10 students still hoping to find a work placement this July. If you can take a student for one or two weeks, please let me know.
Are you interested? Can you help?
Please contact me and sign up for one or more of the above events.
