NATIONAl APPRENTICESHIP WEEk – fEBRUARY 2022

In February 2022, we welcomed a series of guest speakers into our classrooms to highlight the wealth of growing apprenticeship opportunities in the workplace.

Our pupils heard from Max Rayner, a Level 6 apprentice at local architectural practice WS Planning & Architecture, about his ‘learn as you earn’ degree level alternative to university.

Sue Taylor of ALPS (Association of Learning Providers Surrey) also highlighted the vast number of local opportunities available with well-known brands and corporate blue-chip corporations.

Robert Harper MD of CBSbutler, completed the series, showcasing the growing number of apprenticeship opportunities available in the IT sector.

NATIONAl CAREERS WEEk – MARCH 2022

During National Careers week we hosted a selection of STEM focused guest speakers across three days, including Mobile App developer, Sonin; IT recruitment specialist, CBSbutler and freelance game developer, Mark Hardisty.

Our pupils gained valuable insight and industry knowledge during these sessions, and as we continue to build our careers programme, we would love to hear from you if you would like to host a careers session.

If this sounds of interest, please email the team at dunottar.society@dunottarschool.com with any thoughts and ideas.

We are also interested in hearing from any ex-pupils enjoying a gap year or work placement to talk about their experiences.
