Young Chamber sponsors support careers fair at Queen’s Park High School

Sponsors of the Young Chamber programme recently helped to provide advice and support to Year 11 students at Queen’s Park High School as the students prepare for the next step of their educational journey and consider their future options whether it be sixth-form, an apprenticeship, college or employment.

Each sponsor had their own stall which allowed students to gain useful information and ask inquisitive questions about different industries, including skills requirements, career prospects, further education and potential apprenticeship opportunities.

Andrea Watts, Careers & Citizenship Lead at Queen’s Park High, commented: “Our Year 11 Steps to Success Event was designed to allow students, during the school day and with their parents into the evening, to access a wide range of employers from a variety of sectors to find out more about the options, pathways and next steps open to them at post 16.

“We were delighted to have so many fantastic organisations join us! This event is one of two calendared during the academic year to afford parents the opportunity to find out more and enhance their own knowledge and understanding about options and pathways with a view to supporting their child with their next steps.”
