Careers Week at Ffynone – Day 1 🚀
What a fantastic start to our Careers Week! We began the day with Mrs Thomas, who shared her journey running her own yoga business, followed by Dr Morris who gave pupils a fascinating insight into life as a GP.
Year 10 were inspired by Amanda Bordessa from Big Ideas Wales , learning what it really takes to start and run your own company. Our GCSE students then worked with Jim Richardson from Penguin Recruitment on what makes a strong CV and successful job application.
Phoenix, currently studying Chemistry at spoke to pupils about crafting a competitive UCAS application and gave an honest and insightful glimpse into university life.
We rounded off a jam-packed day with Year 9 hearing from Steven Bear, a Software Engineer, about careers in the tech industry.
A huge thank you to all of our speakers for giving up their time to support and inspire our pupils.
Day 1 complete… bring on Day 2!
