Careers Week at Meadows gives our pupils a bridge between what they do at school and what they might go on to do in the world of work. 

Careers Week at Meadows gives our pupils a bridge between what they do at school and what they might go on to do in the world of work.

By meeting people who do all sorts of jobs, hearing how they got started and asking their own questions, pupils can begin to picture themselves in roles they may never have considered.

We want pupils to recognise the skills they’re already building at school. Serving a customer in our school café, working as part of a team or seeing a practical task through are all experiences they can take into a workplace. Careers Week helps pupils make that connection and gives us a chance to build relationships with visiting employers that could open up work experience opportunities.

This is an important week at Meadows. With more than 21 visitors sharing their experiences, from firefighting and football coaching to chocolate making and aviation, every pupil has a chance to hear something that sparks their interest and see a wider range of possibilities for their future.
