Careers Week comes alive for Year 10

Bridgewater student enjoys work experience session with NHS nurse practitioner

Work experience provides an invaluable opportunity for students to gain an insight into the working world, helping to broaden horizons and look to the future. This year Careers Week took place in school with Year 10 students enjoying A-level taster lessons, a virtual work experience programme and talks from external speakers representing a broad range of career sectors and Higher Education settings.

Law, medicine, engineering, teaching, marketing, finance, journalism, recruitment, policing, construction and travel were just some of the industries introduced throughout the week, and Bridgewater welcomed visitors from some of the country’s leading universities to provide an understanding of university life, apprenticeships and the exciting opportunities that await.
