Employer Encounters
We understand the importance and strongly encourage meaningful encounters between our students and employers with the aim to equip the next generation of workers with the knowledge, understanding and skills to make a successful transition from education to the workplace.
We are particularly keen to hear from employers who can help link our subject-related curriculum in the classroom to the world of work/employment. This could include visiting a class and running or supporting a lesson for example.
If you would like to keep in touch about these opportunities please contact: Mr Tim Meek – Careers Advisor – tmeek@derrymount.notts.sch.uk for an informal discussion.
