Heathrow Jobs and Careers Fair at Sofitel Terminal 5<br />
On<br />
Friday 28th February <strong>2019</strong> Mr Cripps and I accompanied 30 students in year 13 and year 11<br />
to attend the Heathrow Jobs and Careers Fair at Sofitel Terminal 5. I had never attend this<br />
fair before but was amazed to see all the providers who were looking to recruit young people for their<br />
companies. There were hundreds of young people from all over London but being one of the closest<br />
schools to Heathrow I was really amazed to see all the opportunities available locally. There were<br />
universities, colleges, retail firms, engineering firms, public services all offering so many things! I think<br />
Border Force had the most exciting stand which included a search dog. It was a great insight in hearing<br />
about how they operate.<br />
The providers were offering jobs, apprenticeships and some were talking about being a T-Level placement<br />
employer. There is so much emphasis and progression within the apprenticeship route that companies<br />
were really keen on recruiting young people who fit the values of their organisation. British Airways even<br />
provides apprenticeships in four different areas. Some of the engineering firms like Ferrovial Agroman<br />
were offering Degree Level apprenticeships. Ferrovial Agroman were awarded a joint contract for £500<br />
million to the biggest construction project in Europe – Crossrail and now they are looking for young<br />
people to join them if they are awarded the contract for Terminal 6 or runway 3 – which is very exciting.<br />
It was a great and valuable afternoon for all the students who attended.<br />

Generation Global aims to provide young<br />
people with the dialogue skills to engage in<br />
a non-confrontational way when discussing<br />
controversial topics. Students are taught skills<br />
which they then put into practice through<br />
international video conferences. <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
participated in seven conferences throughout<br />
the year. Two of the conferences for year 12<br />
students were on the topic of human trafficking and identity.<br />
Five conferences were held with our year 9 students on a range<br />
of topics including global warming and hate speech. The year<br />
9s learned their dialogue skills as part of the school’s Mind,<br />
Body and Soul programme. <strong>Cranford</strong> students engaged with children from all over the world, from USA,<br />
Columbia, Mexico, Ukraine, Italy, Egypt, Jordan and the UAE.<br />
Our students performed exceptionally well in the video conferences displaying high level dialogue skills<br />
and using questioning techniques to delve deep in to the thinking of other young people around the<br />
world. The conferences usually last 90 minutes but the time just flies by and leaves everyone wanting more.<br />
