Hello Education

Preparing students for successful careers.

Many young people don’t feel prepared for the working world. Students who do feel prepared for work may be less prepared than they realise, or they may be prepared for work that no longer exists. This session will support school staff and career leaders in developing awareness of new and existing careers pathways.

The on-demand recording of this session will be available to view at the start of the Autumn term.

Rachel Green

Education Engagement and Development Manager, The Careers & Enterprise Company
As an ex-headteacher and MAT Careers Leader, I appreciate that helping every young person to find their best next step is a big ask but one worth doing. Why is careers education important in a packed curriculum space? Why should all teachers, senior leaders and governors care about careers education?

Phil Standen

Staff Engineer for Supplier Payments, American Express
My approach to building software is based on the core belief that designing for flexibility, change, and learning is better than expecting to get it right first time.

“A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labour exploitation and disease, and give them the knowledge, skills and confidence to reach their full potential.
