Showcasing Our Students’ Achievements at Our Reverse Job Fair
Local employers had the chance to hear our students' career journeys and aspirations
Our Hedley’s Beyond Reverse Job Fair was an excellent opportunity for local employers to connect with our students and find out more about their skills and career aspirations.
Structured in a ‘speed dating’ format, employers spent 10 minutes with each table of students, learning about the experiences they’ve had in the world of work.
Students confidently shared highlights from their work placements, showcased their key skills, and spoke about the careers they aspire to pursue in the future.
Following the initial sessions, employers had the opportunity to engage with students individually, allowing for deeper conversations and a chance to learn more about each person.
Events like this are invaluable for building our students’ confidence while giving employers a first-hand introduction to the talent of tomorrow.
Thank you to the excellent organisations that took part and connected with our students:
- Sunderland Culture
- Gardiner Richardson
- Opencast
- Jesmond Community Orchard
- Disability North
- Bellway
- Barratt Homes
