how was it?
In my view, the day was a great success. The session went like clockwork and both teachers and students I spoke to gave very positive feedback. Feedback from the staff involved was also very positive.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone involved in facilitating the session. The session was very well organized and well received.
What's next?
Our hope is to hold regular open days, perhaps once a term, so we can visit a number of different schools.
When planning this open day, we were guided by the areas of work that we heard from St Ilty's High School that students were most interested in, but we understand that this will vary from school to school, so we We'd love to hear from a team. We will support future open days.
We want to grow it until it's a well-oiled machine that can run on a regular basis. There, everyone involved will have plenty of notice to prepare and will have a library of possible activities and sessions to offer. My intention is to continue to liaise with Careers Wales representatives to understand the most meaningful times in the school calendar and the areas that students are most interested in, and to schedule open days in advance. .
Think about what interactive activities you can implement to spotlight your work and engage groups of young people.
If you are interested in attending an upcoming open day, please contact Rosie Walters.
