Thirty students participated in a series of interactive workshops themed around Unilever, gaining insights into how a global business operates, exploring diverse career pathways, and developing the employability skills that support career readiness.

Throughout the day, students were encouraged to think about their interests, strengths, and ambitions, while learning about the wide range of opportunities that could be available to them in the future. Activities focused on helping students understand how the subjects they study in school connect to real-world careers and the many different routes people can take after secondary education. The session also encouraged students to ask questions, challenge assumptions about jobs, and consider careers they may not previously have thought about.

The atmosphere on the Mezzanine was lively and positive, with students showing curiosity, enthusiasm, and maturity in their discussions. It was particularly encouraging to see students beginning to reflect on their own aspirations and to recognise that the choices they make in school can help shape their futures.
