Visits & seminars

What makes the Career Academy curriculum come alive for students, apart from excellent teaching, is the input they receive from a range of employer-led visits and seminars, related to course content.

These are arranged by individual Career Academies in partnership with local employers. Additional regional and national ‘highpoint' events are also offered centrally by the Career Academies UK. Topic possibilities are virtually endless. Recent sessions have included corporate social responsibility, world trade and economics, an introduction to financial law, CV writing, and dressing for success.

Simple behind the scenes workplace tours can be equally beneficial. The experience of being welcomed into unfamiliar corporate environments is a massive confidence builder for young people, not to be underestimated.

That's why we kick off the Career Academy programme in style, inviting all first year Career Academy students - from across the UK - to come together in London for A Capital Experience.

"It was a great opportunity for our senior business leaders to hear directly from the students about their studies and learn more about their goals and career aspirations. It's perfectly possible that some of these students are State Street employees of the future". [Lisa Blay, State Street]
