Post 16 students organise major careers event

Year 13 students at the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) Post-16 Centre demonstrated outstanding teamwork and leadership by planning, producing, and running a major careers event focused on university degrees and apprenticeships within the business sector.

This event, aimed at students from across Bristol and the surrounding areas, served as a valuable opportunity for attendees to explore future career paths and options in business education.

The event was organised as part of the students’ OCR Cambridge Technical Level 3 Diploma in Business Studies.

Working collaboratively, the students took responsibility for all aspects of the event, including planning, outreach, and execution, showcasing their project management, communication, and problem-solving skills.

The careers event featured presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities with representatives from universities, apprenticeship providers, and business professionals.

Helen Gardener, a teacher of Business and Finance at the CLF, said: “I am incredibly proud of what the Year 13 students have achieved. This event is a perfect example of how practical learning through the Cambridge Technical Level 3 Diploma in Business allows students to develop real-world skills, such as teamwork, leadership, and organisation, that will serve them well in their future careers.”
