News Career Fair success at BFA

 

“Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy”

Thursday 6th  July saw over 750 students across all year groups at Bradford Forster Academy meeting with over 30 employers and Sixth Form representatives for the annual Careers Fair. The day was a great success! There were over 30 businesses, employers, colleges and Universities who visited the school. All students were invited to the event and were able to talk about their future options and goals. There were some excellent questions asked by students and the delegates commented on how well behaved, sensible and insightful the students were.

This is what one delegate had to say ‘It was great! The students, the lunch, the buzz! It’s the only one (careers fair) I try and not miss each year! Love love love it all!’

Providers who attended praised the students for their good manners, enthusiasm, great questions and general fantastic engagement throughout the entire day of the careers fair. Thank you to everyone who visited school!

Gemma Conti, Assistant Principal for Progression at Bradford Forster Academy, said:

“’I just want to say a massive thank you to all the providers who attended our Careers Fair, it was a wonderful day with students behaving impeccably. It was fabulous to walk around the room and hear the insightful questions that our students were asking. Our vision for Careers at BFA is:

‘To support and engage every student to understand and develop their own future pathways, to raise and achieve their aspirations in an ever-changing and increasingly competitive world, grounded in the foundations of hope, endurance, forgiveness, and trust.’

Our Careers Fair was one of the many events and activities that students take part in to help us achieve our vision”
