At Miltoncross Academy, a key part of our curriculum is the world of work and careers, giving our students an insight into the types of industries that are available to them after they leave school. A big part of this is our annual Careers Week which runs every July for our Year 10 students - including an Interviewing event in which local businesses and national companies from a range of industries come along and speak to our students and help with their interviewing skills.
This year, that event is happening on Tuesday 19th July!
If this is something you feel you can support for either a part of the day or full day, or want further information, please contact our Careers and Post-16 Co-ordinator (Ms Bateman) via louise.bateman@miltoncross-tkat.org.
(This event is open to any business and any representative from within those businesses)
