Prior to attending, students completed a lesson on how to approach employers and have meaningful conversations, including role play practice to build confidence. During the fair, students explored independently or in small groups, asking questions and learning about a diverse range of industries and pathways.
We’re incredibly proud of the professionalism, drive, and enthusiasm shown throughout the day.
The event was widely praised by exhibitors. Representatives from Octopus Energy commented:
"We thoroughly enjoyed speaking with the students and were genuinely impressed by how engaged they were in conversation. Many of them asked thoughtful questions and showed a real interest in learning more about our company and the energy sector. It was refreshing to see such curiosity and enthusiasm.
We were particularly inspired by the students openly sharing their aspirations, from becoming doctors and lawyers to pursuing careers as astrophysicists. Their ambition and drive to build meaningful and successful careers were evident, and we were all very impressed."
