The sessions, which were led by HR professionals, were designed to reinforce and enhance some of the topics that teachers were covering with the S3 pupil cohort. These included:
The entire S3 year group attended four separate sessions, all of which were interactive and well received.
While the themes were already being covered in school, it added value to have these reiterated by industry professionals, who could directly relate the subject matter to the world of work and the conduct expected in their own organisations.
"...some good questions and discussion around the topics covered."
The S6 cohort at Cults Academy gained practical knowledge and confidence in managing their personal finances, courtesy of an interactive session with Barclays Life Skills.
An in-school session with EY helped senior phase pupils understand how mathematical classroom concepts are applied in real-world business scenarios.
A pupil mural project gained a creative boost when a graduate from Gray's School of Art visited Lochside Academy.
