THE WILNECOTE SCHOOL ATTEND TAMWORTH CAREERS FAIR<br />
On Wednesday 16th October, every school in Tamworth<br />
attended the STEP (Schools of Tamworth Employability<br />
Partnership) Careers Fair at QEMS 6th Form college.<br />
Year 9 students from Wilnecote were fortunate to participate<br />
and experience the event. There were a wide variety of exhibitors<br />
from commercial and public sectors, as well as the armed forces,<br />
apprenticeship providers and universities.<br />
“The event was a huge success and links really well with what<br />
we are doing at school in terms of aspirations and setting goals,”<br />
commented Mr Handford, Head of Careers. “With organisations<br />
like Rolls Royce, HS2, the NHS, Audi and Redrow Homes, not to<br />
mention local colleges and universities as far and wide as Cardiff<br />
and Plymouth being represented, it certainly gave students a real<br />
flavour of the different opportunities that are available to them<br />
when the leave school.”<br />
In total, over 1,000 students experienced the event on the day,<br />
ranging from Year 9 to Year 12 students. Many thanks to the STEP<br />
group for their hard work in organising the event and to Landau<br />
Forte Sixth form for the use of<br />
their facilities.<br />
