Virtual Encounters with Employers​​​​​​​

We had two full days of virtual encounters with employers recently, which students thoroughly enjoyed. We interacted with eight different employers over the two days but the highlights were Keepmoat construction and Newcastle Cat and Dog shelter. With Keepmoat, our task was to create a sustainable housing development and make at least 15% profit. With some budding construction workers and engineers on the team, we made a whopping 34% profit!

The Cat and Dog shelter inspired some of our learners to work in Animal Care. Mrs Hetherington and Miss Fleming from school council have already visited them to build a relationship and offer support with fundraising.We look forward to working with them in the future!
