Students at Witchford Village College were encouraged to think about job roles within the construction industry during a careers presentation from Vistry East Midlands.
As part of national careers week (March 7-13), Year 10 students welcomed the housebuilding company to their classroom on March 11 for a 50-minute presentation.
The presentation was part of a special career-focused day where pupils were off timetable following four days of work experience.
During the day, they were able to participate in various sessions and workshops focusing on apprenticeships and employment opportunities.
Vistry’s presentation covered the different roles within the business and included talks from the land and planning, technical, and sales departments.
Bessie Owen, head of school at Witchford Village College, said: “We are very grateful to the staff at Vistry East Midlands for giving their time and expertise to benefit the students here.
“The students gained a lot from the presentation and it has really encouraged them to think about careers in the construction industry.”
