A daytime careers event with timetabled slots for S3 and S4 pupils to interact with employers and further/higher education providers.
The careers fair, a first at Northfield Academy in several years, was held during the day.
The event was attended by S3 and S4 pupils. The young people visited the careers fair in small, timetabled groups to maximise opportunities for interactions.
The small groupings, coupled with dedicated time slots, meant that both the pupils and the employers had plenty of space and time to have meaningful discussions.
All of the organisations who were represented engaged very well with the young people, encouraging them into conversations around their industry and associated opportunities to gain training and qualifications.
Bringing employers together in a central space meant that pupils were able to learn about multiple careers and industry sectors that they may not have had much prior knowledge of.
"Thank you, the day was a great success and exactly what the school needed."
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.
