We plan to run our ‘speed networking’ event on 30 January for our year 10 students and are looking for people who would be willing to come into school to talk to students about their jobs. The format is that the adults sit at desks spaced around the hall, and students (in groups of 3/4) have to work their way around the room, spending five minutes with each person. In those five minutes, they ask a series of questions to try and figure out what that person does for a job. So the questions will be things like “Do you work in an office?” “Do you work with the public?” “Do you need to go to university to do your job?” “Can you work from home?” etc.
It should be a fun afternoon and doesn’t require any preparation from participants – just a willingness to chat with students and hopefully inspire them with how fabulous your job is.
Participants would need to come to school for at 12.15, and we would run two one-hour sessions with a break in between, finishing at the end of the school day at 3.05 pm.
If you are able to help please contact Marguerite Lazell.
