Careers Events at Highams Park School – Invitation to Get Involved

We wanted to share a couple of upcoming careers events taking place next academic year at Highams Park School. We would value your support in helping to bring these to life for our students:

Year 9 Employability Day - 7th October at 8:45am – 12:20pm

We are looking for volunteers to support interactive sessions focused on key employability skills. This includes:

• Delivering sessions on what makes a strong CV, including key dos and don’ts and supporting students with improving example CVs and beginning their own.
• Guiding students on writing personal statements for both job and university applications
• Leading sessions on interview skills, including presentation, answering common questions, and demonstrating employability skills
• Sharing insights into industry expectations and real-world examples

Year 8 Green Careers Day - 5th November at 8:45am – 3:15pm

This is a full-day event focused on green careers, where students explore roles linked to sustainability and the environment. We are looking for volunteers to:

• Deliver workshops, talks, or activities linked to green career sectors (e.g. sustainability, renewable energy, environmental science, eco-business)
• Share insights into their role, career pathway, and how their industry supports environmental sustainability
• Engage students in interactive tasks or real-world challenges

If you are able to support in any capacity, we would love to hear from you.
