Employers
Challney High School for Girls is part of the Enterprise Advisor network, which is delivered by SEMLEP in partnership with the Careers and Enterprise Company. Through this we have a dedicated Enterprise Advisor, Peter Jenkin, who supports us in developing our Careers and Enterprise provision.
How employers can help
We aim to help every student to reach their full potential and progress on to a successful destination by providing them with the widest possible range of employer and careers related opportunities. This can only be achieved with the help and support of those around us, including employers and alumni.
The school seeks to actively engage employers in the development and delivery of careers provision. We appreciate that your time is precious and we would value your contribution whatever this may be. Here are some examples of how an employer could get involved in careers activities:
Send a representative to our ‘speed networking’ event with Years 7-11, giving small groups of students an insight into your job
Provide a ‘careers insight’ talk or workshop to Year 10 students on your career sector
Send a representative to act as an interviewer / assessor at a mock interview or mock assessment centre event
Host a workplace visit for a small group of students (2 hours)
Host a Year 10 work experience student for a week (February/March)
Linking with a relevant Head of Subject in school/college to provide a ‘workplace’ task to support careers/employability within the curriculum, bringing real world context to a particular topic
The above list is not exhaustive, if you have any further ideas of how you could support our CEIAG programme please do not hesitate to get in touch with Mrs Cath Price - cprice@challneygirls.luton.sch.uk
We are particularly keen to engage with any of your employees who are part of the Challney High School for Girls Alumni.
