Careers Convention 2021
Welcome to our online 2021 Careers Convention.
Each Thursday we will be releasing new videos featuring contributors from a wide range of different sectors and professions. Our fantastic contributors will be talking about different aspects of their career and how they have progressed to where they are today, as well as sharing their experiences to help you if you are interested in forging a career in that field.
This will culminate with our live, online event on Thursday 4th March where contributors will be available to answer your questions through live participation in different forums. More details of this will be announced nearer the time.
Contributors have sent us their own videos or have been interviewed by Mrs Cottam, Head of Careers Services, or Ms Knipe, Mrs Drury and Mrs Dowdall from the Development Team.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has given up their time to support the Careers Convention – alumnae, parents, friends of the school and friends of friends who have been happy to get involved.
Please do take the time to browse through the videos as they are posted each week.
