Successful Careers Fair 2022
Students in Years 10-13 got the chance to consider future career options at our Careers Fair on Saturday 5th March. Hosted in the Sixth Form Centre, the popular event welcomed a number of professionals, Lingfield Alumni and organisations who provided information about various Post 18 routes for students
Each guest had a stall to discuss their organisation, provide information, talk about their personal experiences and advise on career opportunities. Alongside this were informative and engaging talks in the Lecture theatre that included insights into professions such as Law, Media, Medicine and the RAF. Students were also able to speak to delegates in dentistry, engineering, fashion, the police and recruitment.
Alex Bennett, Creative Marketing Specialist at Boots reflected, "I really enjoyed speaking to the students about creative careers as well as the university experience - they were really engaged and asked lots of interesting questions. It was also really nice to see the alumni again and speak to my old teachers."
Mrs Mortleman, the Sixth Form Careers Advisor and Apprenticeships Coach, was on hand to answer questions alongside UCAS Co-ordinators, Mr Hagan and Mr Scott.
One student said, "It is a great way to make us aware of all the opportunities that are open to us once we have finished at Lingfield and help plan our future better"
After the event, Head of Sixth Form Mrs Folkard said, "We are delighted with the success of the Careers Fair 2022. It was great to see so many alumni and companies giving advice and support to the students in such a dynamic and positive atmosphere. I look forward to welcoming even more alumni back to the next Fair in 2024."
Thank you to all the organisations who supported us. We look forward to welcoming you back at future events.
