Autumn Term 2024:

UNLOC Buisness Bootcamp

20 Year 12 and 13 students took part in a 2-day workshop with UNLOC. Dom Thompson, entrepreneur, guided the students through all stages of creating a business. Students started with team building activities, where they learnt about the power of teamwork, communication and problem solving. They had sessions on how to network and build relationships in a business setting. They learnt about the Japanese concept of Ikigai- the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Students then developed a business model considering their target market, finances, marketing strategy, core values, and long-term plans. At the end of the two days, they presented their businesses in a Dragon's Den style pitch. On completion of the course, they can apply for a £1000 grant towards their idea! 

Youth Construction Trust

The Construction Youth Trust mentoring programme has started for Y11 and Y12. Students have been introduced to the pro's and con's of different post-16 and post-18 pathways, workshops on who they are and what their skills are, and had an industry talk with three volenteers from the construction industry. Over the next two terms, students will be mentored by experts and meet with industry professions to help them make key decisions about their next steps.

Construction Youth Trust is a charity that helps young people access opportunities in the construction and built environment industries. They work with schools to deliver workshops, mentoring, and hands-on activities that inspire students to explore careers in construction. Their sessions provide insight into various roles, from architecture and engineering to trades and project management. By bringing their expertise into schools, Construction Youth Trust helps students discover pathways into an industry offering diverse and rewarding career options. Their workshops also aim to challenge stereotypes and promote diversity within construction careers. Schools benefit from industry-led sessions that enhance careers education, align with Gatsby Benchmarks, and support student aspirations. 

Money Charity

This term Y7 will be having a financial literacy workshop with The Money Charity. The Money Charity is a UK-based organization dedicated to improving financial literacy and empowering individuals to manage their money effectively. They offer tailored workshops and resources for schools, helping young people develop essential money management skills. Their sessions cover topics like budgeting, saving, borrowing, and understanding financial products, ensuring students are better prepared for financial independence. By bringing their workshops into schools, The Money Charity provides engaging, interactive learning experiences that align with PSHE objectives. These workshops not only increase students' financial confidence but also promote informed decision-making and resilience against financial challenges. Schools benefit from expert-led sessions that complement their curriculum and support students’ personal development.
