On the 3rd of July 2020, Eastern Region Training will be supporting the World of Work Day at Chantry Academy.
A future career seems a long way off for most primary age children. Making a connection between what they learn in primary school and the jobs they might one day pursue can be beyond their understanding, particularly for children from challenging back-grounds where unemployment is high and aspirations are low. Every young person deserves to access opportunities, regardless of background.
Primary Schools in the IP2 area of Ipswich will be introducing a ’World of Work’ experience to children in Year 5, (9-10 years of age). This will involve 7 primary schools taking part in carousel style workshops. With a 10 minute question and answering sessions to be delivered to groups of approximately 8 children. Eastern Region Training are supporting this event by volunteering 3 members of staff for the day, a Roofing Tutor, First Aid Instructor and Forklift instructor to provide talks and practical demonstrations to the students.
If you’d like to get involved with the World of Work experience and support a fantastic event, get in touch with us on 01473 830255.
