National Careers Week 2024

We enjoyed a number of exciting events during National Careers Week including visits from guest speakers Oliveti Construction, BSS, George & Asda, plus we looked at Careers in the classroom and linking jobs to individual subjects.

Year 10 Careers Day - 8th February 2024

A fabulous day was had when our Year 10's participated in a Careers Day here at Lutterworth College on Thursday 8th February.  It was a great opportunity for students to hear from local employers & industry experts about their possible Post 16 and Post 18 options. Year 10's really got involved and were a credit to the school.

The employers & experts who joined us on the day included the Morgan Sindall Construction, the RAF, Asda Logistics, Watling JCB, Third Kind Games, Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, Harborough District Council, Leicestershire Police, HOET Hair & Beauty Team, SMB College Group and Leicestershire Fire & Rescue. A huge thank you to you all involved!

 

We had some great feedback from the RAF who played a big part in the day's activities:-

"The staff I met were without doubt a credit to Lutterworth College and the students where extremely well behaved and I enjoyed the interaction that we had with them. I hope they took something from the time they spent with myself and the rest of the team. If not joining the RAF just looking within themselves to be the best they can be!"

Some of the feedback from students follows:-

"Great advice given, which made me think about my options and future"

"Gave me an insight into career options"

"Enjoyed the day"

"Found out a lot of useful information about different kinds of jobs"

"The police were great"

"It was a fun day"

"Lots of advice and information"

Green Careers Week, 6-11th November 2023

The aim of Green Careers Week is to raise aspiration, support diversity, challenge stereotypes and promote real opportunities for young people to have a career that will genuinely make a difference; looking into careers, jobs, roles, and career pathways that are green careers and showing them how to develop green skills. 

A green career can be any job, role or occupation that contributes to preserving or restoring the environment and our planet. It can be any industry, not just those seen as ‘green.’ Green skills are abilities, attributes, values, attitudes, knowledge, and technical skills needed to adapt services, processes and procedures to support climate change. 

Green careers are a fast-growing global employment sector that touches every company, employer, employee, and education establishment. Requiring everyone to work together to build a talent pipeline from school through to employment for the thousands and thousands of jobs and roles needed for the future. Green careers reach into every aspect of our lives and offer young people an exciting array of opportunities. There are green career and green skills suitable for everyone.
