Weston College Welcomes 900+ Visitors to Inspiring ‘What Next?’ Careers Event
On 24th September, Weston College welcomed over 900 local people to the Winter Gardens for the ‘What Next’ Careers Showcase for Year 10’s and 11’s.
A key date in the calendar, ‘What Next?’ is one of the biggest events of the year, showcasing so many opportunities for year 11 students, and this year’s event did not disappoint. Attendees had the opportunity to find out more about their potential career pathway; from meeting Weston College staff from all faculties, to speaking with a wide range of employers.
Over 40 employers attended including, Airbus, Muller, the Royal Navy, Thatchers Cider, Bristol City Robins Foundation and Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm. They spoke directly with students and parents, highlighting career prospects and opportunities within their industries.
Alongside employers, Weston College also showcased its Careers Excellence Hubs, giving students insight into the courses and pathways available across areas such as Early Years, Creative Arts, Construction, and Engineering. Lecturers were on hand at each stand to answer questions and provide advice.
Students and parents could also book into a series of popular Inspire Talks, offering in-depth sessions on specific pathways including A Levels, T Levels, Apprenticeships, Foundation Pathways (Kings Trust Programme) and Diplomas (BTEC’s and UAL qualifications).
