Careers Workshops for Years 7, 8 and 10
Our Senior School students enjoyed three different dynamic Careers Workshops over the last three weeks led by Bright Futures.
Year 7 took part in an ‘Enterprise and Entrepreneurship’ workshop, working in teams to develop their enterprise skills and learning about the ‘3 Ps’ of modern business: Profit, Planet and People. A social enterprise challenge saw the teams design and make a branded product to be sold at a partner event and perfected a 90-second presentation to pitch it to organisers.
Year 8 enjoyed a ‘Business Brains’ careers workshop. Competing against each other in small teams, pupils had to rebrand a failing product with logo and slogan in an environment designed to recreate a real marketplace. A profit-making activity wrapped up the workshop with their business accounts revealed at the end.
Year 10s took part in an ‘employability and enterprise’ careers day. The activity-based session included a kinesthetic colour-coding activity to analyse systems and illustrate the importance of efficiency, an insight into the recruitment process, practising interview skills and product selling sales pitches, and culminated in a ‘live trading’ activity making investment choices and managing risk and reward.
