What Schools said about the Event
“I just wanted to thank you for giving our students such a great opportunity yesterday. It was a fantastic event and our students thoroughly enjoyed it. I can only imagine how much time and effort had gone into planning such a huge event. I had very good feedback from my colleague who sat in on the CV workshop. She said Emma Summers, CEO at Juice Recruitment was excellent so I would be interested in signing our students up for that again next year.”
“I just want to repeat how delighted I am that our young people are being given the opportunity access a local, diverse and inclusive careers event. Us Careers Leads have waited a long time for a centralised event to happen so thank you for taking this on”.
Sarah Baird – Careers Lead, Tewkesbury Academy
“It delivered beyond our expectations, our more challenged students were so inspired by the event and came back saying they had met their future employers, buzzing with excitement about their future career opportunities. It couldn’t have gone better, which is a testament to the incedible hard work of the C2S Team. All our students absolutely loved it, the event was set up so perfectly, it was engaging and delivered on all levels. Our students thrived and a massive thank you from all of us. It makes a world of difference to the community to have this opportunity – thank you.”
