We are excited to announce a series of inspiring career-themed events taking place across our high schools this November for S4 – S6 pupils. These evenings are designed to showcase the diverse opportunities available to young people and help them explore pathways that align with their passions and strengths and develop professional networks.
Linked below are posters listing Employers, Colleges and Universities that will be at each event with a QR Code which takes you to a booking form for the ‘Insight Career Talks’ from professionals who will give in depth talks about the exciting opportunities available for pupils. The Spotlight Sessions are open to ALL S4 – S6 pupils, no matter which school they attend.
