Year 8 Careers Panel

As part of the Hanson Academy careers programme and a careers themed half term, all Year 8 students took part in a careers panel where students got the opportunity to put their questions to a panel of local employers from a variety of industries. The event was hosted by Ahead who are one of the careers programme partners.

The panel shared their life experiences from the world of work and gave great advice that our students hopefully took onboard and will use to make informed decisions regarding their futures!

All year 8 students engaged with the event and were a credit to the school.

A big thanks to our host from Ahead partnership, Rob Rattray, who was a great host and our panel who were very knowledge and open to share experiences. The panel consisted of Karen Kaur (Home Office Leeds), Rachel Percy-Elliott (Ministry of Justice), Dave Rockett (Northern Gas networks) and Tamara Butterworth (Quickline).
