Over the last two weeks we’ve welcomed professionals from Salford Foundation to our academy, promoting the importance of the ‘World of Work’ and the opportunities available to our students.

Last Monday all of Year 8 students attended sessions on a variety of different sectors in the world of work and were able to ask questions of the experts about their different occupations and how to access that profession. The team from Salford Foundation were also joined by professionals from BCEGI and TEP The Environment Partnership.

This week every student in Year 11 was given the opportunity of a 1-1 mock interview to practise their interview skills for college, apprenticeship or work. The students found this opportunity very worthwhile and all felt more confident in how to present themselves in the real interviews that they will all be facing later in the year. With thanks to a range of professionals from Routes Healthcare, Brock McGoff, The Manchester College and Ambient Accounting Ltd there was a huge field of expertise to call on.
