Employers
Call out to employers and volunteers!
We are keen to work with both local and national employers to ensure that our students to have as many encounters as possible with employers. This is important to help them to make informed future decisions and to ensure that they are equipped with the skills employers are looking for.
We welcome any volunteers into the Academy who are happy to support us with our many careers events, such as mock interviews, support with work experience placements, careers assemblies, careers workshops, the Big Bang Fair, the careers fair, mentoring etc.
Should you wish to find out more information or volunteer, please contact us via careers@harris.covmat.org.
Thank you to all of you for your continued support!
