Careers Evening and Futures Fair

28 January 2025 (by admin)

Following the success of last year’s debut event, we are delighted that a second community Careers Evening and Futures Fair will take place at the school on Thursday, 13th February, between 4.30 and 7.30pm.  

The event is open to students in years 9, 10 and 11, who are invited to attend alongside their parents/carers. Places can be booked now through EduLink. Visit the FORMS section to confirm your attendance by Monday, 3rd February.

Although primarily open to the school’s students and their families, a limited number of places are once again being offered to members of the community who may be looking for a return to work, a change of career, or information about further education.

Careers leader, Viki Foster, said: “Last year, we made the decision to invite members of the community for the first time, giving them direct access to employers, training providers and sources of careers information and guidance in their locality. We were delighted with the response to this approach and are pleased to offer a similar opportunity once again.”

Anyone interested in attending the event as a guest from the community can request a place by contacting Viki Foster via email at fosterv@wscampus.net or by phone on 01964 611545. Limited places are available and these must be booked and confirmed in advance.

The event is accessible to the community between 6.30pm and 7.30pm and will take place in the school’s main hall.

Among the providers who are confirmed to attend are representatives from Wilberforce, Wyke, Bishop Burton, East Riding and Hull colleges, plus apprenticeship and independent training providers including Catch Apprenticeships and HETA (Humber Engineering Training Association). 

Companies operating in a variety of sectors including finance, media, legal services, manufacturing, engineering, construction, health and social care, and renewable energy, will also be represented. Among them are Smailes Goldie Accountants, RWE Renewable Energy, Rollits Solicitors, Centrica Storage, Holderness Health, Martin Williams Hull (Ltd) and Cranswick Country Foods (Preston). They will be joined by representatives of public services including the police force, the fire brigade and the British Army.

In addition, independent careers advice providers including Log on Move on, Skills Hull and East Riding, the Humber Outreach Programme and Women into Manufacturing and Engineering (WiME) will also be present.
