Uptree Event – S4, S5, and S6 pupils

Uptree event – S4, S5, and S6 pupils
~ Anyone interested contact Miss Dickman ~
A careers platform for senior phase and college students helping them bridge the gap between education and employment. We run work experience days with leading companies, offer free careers education resources, and deliver careers assemblies/workshops to students all over the UK.
I wanted to let you know about FuturesUP, our upcoming multi-industry careers event for students in S4, S5, and S6. The event is taking place on 14 June so this would be a great opportunity for students to take part in between exams finishing and the summer holidays.
FuturesUP is a multi-industry careers event designed by students for students. At the event, senior phase students will get to network with and find out about opportunities with leading employers like:
• J.P. Morgan
• KPMG
• Clyde and Co.
• The Mortgage Lender
• Coca-Cola Europacific Partners
• And more!
97% of attendees at our last FuturesUP said it was very or extremely helpful in improving their confidence when speaking to professionals
Details:
• When: 14 June, 10am – 12:30pm
• Where: KPMG LLP, 319 St Vincent St, Glasgow, G2 5AS
• Who should apply: S4, S5, and S6 students who want to explore career pathways and
build their confidence.
• What will attendees do: Meet employers from a range of industries, take part in industry activities, learn about career pathways (including apprenticeships), and speed-network with
professionals and like-minded students.
