Hertfordshire’s Employment Showcased

Generation Welwyn Hatfield Careers Conference – An annual event for our Year 11s

Crossroads and decisions are hard for all of us. For our Year 11s embarking on the next stage of their journey, help was at hand with the annual Generation Welwyn Hatfield Careers Conference at the Hatfield Fielder Centre. This event showcases a wealth of businesses and post-16 options for our young people in Hertfordshire. A keen group of Year 11s and some Year 12s attended last Friday for a busy morning of networking! Businesses such as Barclays, Roche, Morgan Sindall, Sky Studios and even our local Baker Simmons had stalls explaining the range of opportunities for employment available in our county. Our pupils were commented on being engaged and motivated -many asking for placements in local businesses as part of our Work Experience programme! Jobs ranged from sports scientists to emergency services – with all aspects of the roles explained by those currently employed in all the local sectors. A few of our pupils even got a great feel for the jobs – some practically so – like the fire service!
