In May, Alperton Community School invited more local employers to have ‘breakfast’ at our Ealing Road school in order to network, discuss potential career opportunities for our students and to continue to build long term relationships with local employers.
Mr Rayleigh organised the event and we had representatives from KM-DC, John Lewis, US charity and Telford Homes.
The staff were greeted by four Year 9 students, Helena, Sophia, Hamza and Devam, who introduced themselves to the guests and discussed about the school and their career aspirations.
The guests also talked about ways they could help ACS, such as career talks, work place visits, work experience opportunities and attending drop down days such as interview skills, CV writing and what to expect from a job.
The breakfast was another success and the employers were all very keen to work with the school and our students in the future. We look forward to hosting more business breakfasts with other local companies as this will continue to provide our students with opportunities to learn about what work is really like and what it takes to be successful in the workplace.
