Year 9 Careers Talk - The British Army

Jan 15, 2026

Year 9 Careers Talk  -  The British Army
This week, Year 9 students took part in an engaging careers presentation delivered by representatives from the British Army.
 
Students learned about the wide range of diverse roles available, including technical, medical, engineering, logistics, IT, and leadership pathways. Short video clips helped bring these careers to life and showed the many different routes students can take.
 
The presentation also highlighted opportunities to study for funded degrees and apprenticeships, as well as the chance to gain transferable skills, professional qualifications, and experience of teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. Students learned about working both in the UK and overseas, including humanitarian, peacekeeping, and support roles, and how the Army can offer structured career progression and personal development.
 
The session encouraged students to think more broadly about future pathways, training, and the skills employers value in the modern workplace. We'd like to thank our representatives for coming in, and look forward to seeing them again at our Whole School Careers Fair on 12th February.
