Dear Parents/Carers

RE: Futures Week at – Monday 8th to Tuesday 9th October 2018

We would like to invite you and your son or daughter to take part in the following range of exciting careers opportunities.

On Monday 8th October there will be aspirational lecture style presentations from 3.05 – 4.30pm in the Main Hall. These are from leading employers and BMET College. At these presentations you will be able to listen to how to make yourself stand out from other applicants, know what the entry requirement is, apply for apprenticeships, and hear about the journeys of real life apprentices.

Our main annual careers fair will be held on Tuesday 9th October from 5-7pm in the Sports Hall. Currently over 35 providers have confirmed their attendance (See Below).

For Year 10 there will be a special Work Experience Talk held in the CC room at 4:30 pm and repeated at 6 pm. In June all year 10 students will be taking part in a week long work experience placement. The purpose of these talks will be to inform you of the processes applying for Work Experience at Erdington Academy and sharing the timeline and deadlines which will need to be met.
