For Employers
At The Folkestone School for Girls, we are dedicated to preparing our students for their future careers by exposing them to a wide range of industries and opportunities. We believe that collaboration with employers like you is key to helping our students make informed decisions about their futures.
If you are passionate about inspiring young people and sharing insights about your industry or organisation, we would love to hear from you. By engaging with our students, you can help them to explore their current career interests but could also inspire them to consider options they may not have previously thought about.
Ways you can get involved
-
Guest Talks: Offer students the chance to learn about your journey and what they can do to prepare themselves best for a career in your field, as well as provide the opportunity for them to ask you any questions they may have.
-
Workshops: Host hands-on sessions to provide students with practical skills and a glimpse into real-world work scenarios.
-
Careers Fair: Represent your organisation during our upcoming Careers Fair on Friday 7 March 2025.
-
Mock Interview Day: For many of our Year 10 students, this will be their first experience of an interview, offering them the chance to develop their interview skills in a supportive environment. Students will participate in mock interviews with several different guests throughout the day. After each interview, you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback, helping students understand how they performed and offering suggestions for improvement.
-
Work Experience: Offer placements to students eager to learn and contribute.
