career days
Leeds
CareerDays.co.uk was founded by former teachers who often came across students
unsure of which career to go into. Career advice plays a big part in a students
school life but we found many students often had no idea what career they wanted
and were ill equipped to make that decision without experiencing each one
beforehand. Many of our students would, for example, decide at 17 that they were
interested in medicine but had no idea of the intricacies involved in applying
or even if their skillset matched a job in the field. Similarly we've had
students from an early age determined to go into a career without having gained
any work experience of it to ascertain if it actually might be for them. We
started in 2014 by running medicine work experience days and since then we've
grown to incorporate several other careers that students would benefit from
gaining work experience in and learning about, to help make their decisions
easier when it comes to choosing a potential career. We have set about forging
relationships with key industry figures and today have an extensive network of
professionals that we can call upon to help run our courses and offer the best
advice and advantage to our students. We formed CareerDays.co.uk to offer
students the chance to experience a career that may be of interest and give them
an honest insight into the field so they can decide to commit to it or to look
into alternate careers. Either way offering some valuable information to them in
order to help them make the right career choices.
