A series of hospitality-themed activities encouraged S2 pupils from St Machar Academy to consider careers in the industry.
The S2 year group from St Machar Academy participated in a series of fun, interactive activities set by employers to provide them with a taste of different roles in the hospitality industry.
Over a two-day period, the S2 pupils were divided into smaller groups, allowing them to speak directly with hospitality industry professionals and ask questions. In their groups, they also tackled a variety of themed activities, including:
The pupils enjoyed the session, interacting well and asking questions about both full-time career opportunities and part-time roles that might be available to them from age 16+.
Several of the industry representatives followed up to extend a separate invitation to pupils to visit them on-site, providing the young people with a further opportunity to gain insights into a hospitality working environment.
“The pupils seemed to have engaged really well with it and I think the micro activities/bitesize approach worked really well. ”
S6 pupils from Mearns Academy gained their first experience of an assessment centre during an off-site day hosted at Norwood Hall Hotel.
A day out with a difference exposed senior pupils from Aberdeen to cutting-edge technologies and engineering solutions.
A real-world project for S3 pupils culminated in a Sustainability Festival supported by local and national organisations.
