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."
A week-long series of coffee conversations provided an opportunity for Oldmachar Academy pupils to chat with representatives from key industry sectors.
Sustainability, speed networking and entrepreneurial skills were all on the menu at Kemnay Academy's Young Enterprise Business Breakfast.
S6 pupils from Mearns Academy gained their first experience of an assessment centre during an off-site day hosted at Norwood Hall Hotel.
