Our students and staff thoroughly enjoyed taking part in our Future Ready Workplace Safari πŸŒπŸš€, an incredible opportunity to explore a range of exciting careers and industries across the region.

Students started the day with a visit to SIMIAN πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈπŸ—οΈ, where they discovered what it takes to become a scaffolder, learned about the wide range of apprenticeship opportunities available, and even had the chance to have a go at scaffolding themselves. This hands-on experience gave them a real appreciation of the skills, training and teamwork involved in the industry. πŸ’ͺπŸ‘

Our next stop was Amentum πŸ€–βš™οΈ, where students explored careers within the nuclear industry. They met an impressive robotic dog used in engineering and inspection πŸ•πŸ€–, learned how engineers design, test and build models to solve complex challenges, and gained a fascinating insight into the innovative technology shaping the future of the sector. πŸ”¬βœ¨

We ended the day with a visit to Vistry Partnerships 🏑🚧, where students toured the construction site and gained valuable insight into the diverse range of careers involved in delivering new homesβ€”from administration and project management through to skilled trades and construction. Exploring the show homes was a particular favourite, with students enthusiastically discussing the different features and even making predictions about the property prices! πŸ πŸ’¬

A huge thank you to everyone at Vistry Partnerships, SIMIAN and Amentum πŸ™ŒπŸ’™ for providing such engaging and inspiring experiences. Opportunities like these help our students make meaningful links between their learning and the world of work, broadening their horizons and raising aspirations for the future. 🌟 We look forward to continuing to build these valuable partnerships and working together again soon! πŸ€πŸŽ‰
