On Monday, September 18th, Wilsthorpe School attended the Two Counties Trust Careers Fair. The focal point of this event was to connect students with over 60 employers and education providers, aiming to provide them with a glimpse into their potential future pathways.
A diverse array of employers attended the event, representing a broad spectrum of industries. From heavyweights like JCB, Civil Service, East Midlands Railways, to well-known brands like DFS and Experian, the students had a unique opportunity to interact and gain insights into various career options.
In addition to employers, education providers played a crucial role in guiding the students. Representatives from local universities and select post-16 colleges, including our 5 TTCT post-16 centres; Ashfield Post 16, Friesland Sixth Form, Manor College, Swanwick Hall Sixth Form, and Wilsthorpe Sixth Form, were present to offer valuable information about the options for their next chapter.
