After two intense weeks of mocks Year 12 turned their attention to life after A Levels. The Sixth Form team delivered a series of talks and workshops designed to get them thinking about what they want to do when they leave school and what path that might take - whether that is a University route or the increasingly popular apprenticeship schemes. The week kicked off with a workshop on personal statements, getting students to think about what they do that makes them stand out. This is good practice to gain confidence in selling themselves. Representatives from industries and businesses including National Physical Laboratories, IBM, Savills and Goldman Sachs spoke to students about their apprenticeship schemes. They heard first hand advice from professionals and those currently on the apprenticeship programme about the various opportunities available to them. “The apprenticeship focus sessions were very insightful and informative. My favourite was the Goldman Sachs apprenticeship focus as it laid key info into the different routes and requirements, engaging my interests further in that field of work.” - Arjun P “The apprenticeship event was a really valuable learning experience and opened my eyes to all the opportunities available to me after my A Level studies. The experience allowed me to hear about all the different industries I could go into and I have come away with a broader understanding of the potential jobs available to me. In particular the Denton’s Law talk was really good as the representative tailored the experience to our age group in an effective way.” - Molly B
