From film-makers to pharmacists,  from paramedics to primary teachers, St Edmund’s hosted over 30 career professionals who gave their time and expertise to support our young people in finding out about the world of work.

 

Students were excited to meet various local and national employers from the private sector such as  Zoom,  Aldi, COOP & Merridale as well as public sector roles in medicine, nursing, politics, probation services and social work. They were also introduced to the potential advantages of setting up your own business with nail technicians and dog grooming being very popular. Students were keen to ask questions and explore the pathways and choices available to them and the exhibitors were impressed with how knowledgeable the students were.

Mrs Hazeldine said, “Thank you so much to the range of professionals that joined us today. It was truly a wonderful experience for the students and an insight to their future careers and aspirations.”
