Yesterday afternoon, #TeamOcklynge hosted its second annual #CareersFair for our amazing #TeamYear6 learners – and what an inspiring event it was!⭐🤩⭐ Over 230 children had the opportunity to explore a wide range of careers and engage with professionals from across our local community. The energy in the hall was incredible and the smiles on the children’s faces said it all! This event is all about opening doors, sparking curiosity, and helping our young learners imagine the possibilities for their future. The conversations they had and the experiences they shared will stay with them for a long time, shaping aspirations and building confidence.
