  My Week of Work took place from Monday, 8th June to Friday, 12th June 2020 and was aimed at Year 9 and Year 10 students to give them an insight into the working world from the comfort of their own homes. The feedback received was really positive, so thank you to all of you who took part!  

  "Thank you very much for all your support and assistance with getting access to the webinars. Also for the certificate of participation, we appreciate it all."

   

   "........ gained absolutely loads of insight from the videos and I'm really glad that you invited the Year 9 pupils to join in the program too. It's never too early to start thinking about your options, especially when you're at home all day every day!"

   

  "He enjoyed most of the sessions and heard about areas of work that he had never considered before (mental health nursing really interested him for example, which surprised me)."
