An interactive virtual workshop bringing students into contact with volunteers from business to learn about the different roles available, quiz them on their career pathways and gain an understanding of the skills and qualifications they need to follow their own routes to work.

The workshop starts with an introduction to the company and the breadth of jobs available within it.
Students then break into smaller groups with an assigned individual business volunteer via a breakout room. This gives them the opportunity to quiz the volunteers about their roles, the skills they need and how their careers have developed.
The whole workshop then comes back together so that each breakout group can give a presentation about what they’ve learned about the volunteers they’ve interviewed.
The workshop concludes with a Q & A opportunity for students to learn more about the individual roles and what it’s like to work there.

This is a highly adaptable workshop that can be tailored to suit different year groups and many learning abilities. SATRO staff will introduce and run the workshop and bring student materials.
Each session is a minimum of 1.5 hours (2 lesson periods), and we can be flexible in providing back-to-back sessions across the school day delivering to different class groups. NOTE: that time will be required for set-up for virtual delivery eg. SMART board and access to TEAMS/Zoom - full details to be discussed in advance.
Please contact us to discuss specific requirements to cover different classes or year groups as delivery can be flexible to meet needs.
