Year 10  Maths students enjoyed a presentation from Anita at the Department of Work and Pensions today as part of our National Careers Week activities.

Students learned about the different roles in DWP and relevant LMI to support the roles discussed. They considered jobs of the past and jobs of the future to encourage them to think about potential career pathways. Following this, they explored the concept of soft skills, their value and ways they can develop their soft skills through a variety of ideas ranging from cadets to volunteering.

A Year 7 Maths group took part in an employer-led activity which encouraged them to think about businesses and the  paying tax. They were given a fictitious pizza company to investigate, facilitating discussion and group work to learn more about the role of HMRC in businesses.

We'd like to thank Anita for coming in  to speak to the students today and for getting National Careers Week off to a great start.
