MAS host first ever Careers Fair

On Thursday 13th July 2017, MAS hosted its first ever Careers Fair to coincide with the academy’s eighth Summer of Arts, Culture and Learning Festival (SoLFest). Students and parents/carers were given the opportunity to meet professionals from a wide range of industries including medicine, law, engineering, communications, consulting, banking, business, and more. They also had an opportunity to learn more about university study at UCL, Newcastle, Westminster and SOAS. This was followed by panel discussions on Law & Government, Medicine & Healthcare, Media, Communications and the Arts, and Business, Banking & Consultancy.

The event was well-attended and there was a definite ‘buzz’ in the air as students wandered The Street (the communal atrium at the centre of the academy building)asking questions about work experience and future career pathways, not to mention enjoying their goodie bags! Many students left saying they felt inspired and now know what they need to do at school to get their ‘dream job’.

MAS would like to thank all the companies who gave up their time to speak to our students and to all staff who supported the event.
