Our ‘Developing the Young Workforce’ week had a fantastic start yesterday, with some of our business partners introducing the children to the wonderful world of work. Pupils were introduced to very interesting speakers who spoke about their varied and exciting careers and truly inspired them to think ‘outside the box’ and that there is no one size fits all approach to the modern world of work. The Social Enterprise Awards team delivered some very interesting workshops to our boys and girls and sparked some interesting ideas that the children  could perhaps use in their own enterprise projects , within the class.

Time will be allocated to classes today, so that our pupils can put some serious thought to an enterprising project from  Micro Tyco, a company that we are currently engaged with.  They provide an investment of £1 and also support,so that our pupils have the ability to turn this pound into a considerable amount of money. Some children from other schools have duplicated this by hundreds, and even thousands. Watch this space for reports on some of our buddding entrepreneurs.

As I reported earlier, boys and girls will be out and about, visiting business partners and taking part in local initiatives. We are looking forward to hearing their news and sharing their experiences with us.

Keep up to date with Twitter , class pages and the blog to follow the children’s progress.
