Careers Fairs and Workshops

A successful initiative introduced to the careers provision here at the Bishop’s Stortford High School are the lunchtime Careers Workshops for Years 9-13.

We’ve hosted a number of visitors in the last 2-3 years who have presented sessions on their profession and/or roles, along with details of career pathways, training and opportunities. Visitors to date include PHD Architects, Cambridge Intelligence, Price Bailey, Audi, Johnson & Johnson, Tees Law, GSK, The Civil Service, University College London, working in the charity sector and St James Wealth Management – to name but a few.

In an informal classroom atmosphere, a target audience of students specifically interested in a certain career can find out more; subjects to choose at A Level etc. Presenters use a variety of methods to illustrate their talks such as worksheets, Powerpoints, group work etc – all of which ensure our students are engaged and enjoy the workshops.

Do please get in touch if you can contribute to the workshop calendar in any way – I would love to hear from you.
