Next Steps Careers Information Evening

March 2019

On the 28th of February the first Next Steps careers information evening was held in Normanton as a joint venture between secondary schools in Derby. It was an excellent opportunity for some of our Y10 and Y11 students to meet with local employers and learn about careers, jobs and education routes that are available.
As an added incentive to come along, two iPads were given away to pupils as raffle prizes and we were delighted that one of our Y10 students, Hira B, was the lucky winner of one of them!
The event was such a success that the next one is already being planned, and even more CoDA students will be invited.

Watch this space for more information.
