Last Friday, Dogs for Health was thrilled to be invited to participate in an inspiring Career Talks event, where students, including sixth formers, explored diverse career paths through sessions led by industry professionals. The event allowed students to connect with organisations like ours, providing them with invaluable insights and real-world advice as they consider their futures.
A Tailored Experience for Each Student
Each student selected two talks based on their interests and career aspirations, ensuring a tailored experience that aligned with their goals. From healthcare and engineering to law and creative industries, the talks covered a variety of fields, offering practical advice and professional perspectives essential for making informed career decisions.
Highlights of the Day
The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive, with several standout elements that made the day memorable:
- Direct Interaction with Professionals: Students valued the chance to engage directly with professionals, asking questions and gaining firsthand knowledge about various fields.
- Real-World Insights: Industry experts shared their career journeys, giving students a clear understanding of the day-to-day realities and challenges in their chosen fields.
- Practical Career Advice: From job market tips to industry-specific guidance, students received actionable advice on entering and thriving in different sectors.
- Exploring Diverse Professions: The range of speakers broadened students’ understanding of various careers, highlighting options they may not have previously considered.
