On Friday 10th March students will have the opportunity to attend an online event with West Midlands Police talking about careers. It begins at 1.15pm until 1.45. It will be held in the Design ICT Suite. As numbers will be limited students are required to book their place with Miss Armstrong via Teams. We suggest that students come straight to the event and collect lunch afterwards; the canteen will be notified.
From law and accountancy to science, healthcare and even animal welfare, there are loads of industries out there - each one with hundreds of career paths you could pursue. These industries are called job sectors. Have a look at the Success At School website here to explore 33 of these job sectors, such as what you need to do to qualify for each profession.
At Limehurst our intent is to provide our students with a careers curriculum which they enjoy studying and which helps them to become confident, able learners who are well prepared to be good citizens and prepared for the next stage of their education.
National Careers Week is 6th – 11th March. To celebrate this we have activities in school during the week that focus on linking curriculum learning to careers. Please find attached the plan for the week and the #BeSomeone Events List with links to book these free events.
