On Thursday 28^th November students from Years 7-10 took part in the BBC Bitesize Careers Tour.

Students took part in 4 x 1hour sessions, led by BBC Talk Sport presenter Steve Forbes, who introduced three professionals in a ‘panel-style’ setup. We were joined by Harry Moreton, Charity Development officer at Exeter City Football Club, Daniel Willers, Creative Director at Yellow Mouse Studios in Exeter and Yolanda Bekker Colman, Resource Scheduler at BBC Plymouth. Each of the guests talked about their career pathway and covered a variety of topics, such as relevant qualifications, personal anecdotes, advice on work experience and key soft skills for the workplace. Students were given the opportunity to ask lots of questions at the end of each of the sessions. 

The Bitesize Careers Tour aims to focus on careers in a variety of sectors and has hopefully helped to inspire students about opportunities that exist on their doorstep. The aim of the Bitesize Careers Tour is to raise awareness of career aspirations to secondary pupils across the UK and give them practical advice on how they can pursue a career in a variety of settings.

 

The students were an absolute credit throughout the sessions.
