A series of employer presentations to help S3 pupils understand expectations around professional conduct in the workplace.
The sessions, which were led by HR professionals, were designed to reinforce and enhance some of the topics that teachers were covering with the S3 pupil cohort. These included:
The entire S3 year group attended four separate sessions, all of which were interactive and well received.
While the themes were already being covered in school, it added value to have these reiterated by industry professionals, who could directly relate the subject matter to the world of work and the conduct expected in their own organisations.
"...some good questions and discussion around the topics covered."
A real-world project for S3 pupils culminated in a Sustainability Festival supported by local and national organisations.
Arnold Clark's bus tour of Aberdeen City schools aimed to inspire pupils about automotive careers.
