Primary 7 took part in our very own Careers’ Fair on 2nd December.  Parents, friends and members of the community very kindly gave up their time to share their experiences of a vast selection of careers which will be available to our learners in the very near future!  We would like to express a huge thanks to everyone who took part.

Kyle says – I learned that there is more training than I thought for each job.  For example, to be a hairstylist, you can’t just pick up a pair of scissors and have a go! There are years of training needed.

Lewis – When you are a child you think you know what you want to be. In reality, there are loads of jobs out there you don’t even know about.  I was surprised at the conditions some people have to work in.  Some outdoor workers work in a dangerous environment.

I learned that there are many different jobs in one place of work.  You can’t just pick a job.  You need to develop specific skills for each role. – Brooke

Up until now I thought I just had to pick a job and that’s what I’d be.  I didn’t realise how hard you have to work to do some jobs.  To be a paramedic you need really good grades in your exams. – Becca
