National Careers Week 

As part of National Careers Week, Oaklands welcomed a variety of inspiring visitors to support and enrich our Careers Programme for our students.

Our Year 13 students attended an informative session from UCL, gaining valuable insight into student finance and preparing for the next stage of their academic journey.

Year 12 students were visited by two PhD researchers from UCL who delivered engaging taster lectures. One session explored ground breaking cancer research, while the other delved into the exciting world of electrical engineering. 

Meanwhile, Year 10 students have been participating in a series of employability workshops delivered by Leigh Day. The fourth workshop focused on interview skills, equipping students with practical techniques and boosting their confidence. They also had the opportunity to speak directly with employees, asking questions and learning more about different career pathways and personal career journeys.

A fantastic week of opportunity, inspiration, and preparation for the future!
