The Science department are hosting a series of talks entitled 'Beyond School', which is aimed primarily towards students in the sixth form and also years 10 and 11. We are hoping to run a series of lunchtime talks, delivered by guest speakers with a scientific background. The talks will provide students with insights into their career pathway, the nature of their role and the science they are involved with. The purpose of these sessions is to inform pupils of the science careers available to them and provide tips on the pathways to a successful future within science. The talks will be hosted in the new sixth form lecture theatre at lunchtimes. |
We see these talks as offering very valuable support to our students, by broadening their awareness of the range of possible career opportunities that draw on an understanding of science. We are particularly keen to use examples of people who are working locally or who are from the local area. Our aspiration is to be able to offer a range of speakers who talk about their employment, the science relating to it and an outline of their career pathway to date. The talk should be a maximum of 30 minutes, included in which there should be 5 minutes for questions. |
If you have a scientific background and would be interested in inspiring the first cohort of CVC sixth form students to see the science beyond the classroom the science department would be delighted to hear from you. |
