Year 12 - Careers and Higher Education Conference July <strong>2016</strong><br />
On<br />
Friday 8th July <strong>2016</strong> year 12 students took part in a Careers<br />
and Higher Education Conference designed to increase<br />
their knowledge of applying to university, help them identify their<br />
own skills and aptitudes and support decision making post 18. A<br />
variety of workshops were on offer, with students<br />
choosing 4 out of a possible 13, all run by external<br />
presenters from business, universities and by<br />
Stemnet Ambassadors. These covered areas such<br />
as “Choosing a University”, “Writing a Personal<br />
Statement”, “Student Finance”, “Taking a Gap Year,<br />
“Life as an Undergraduate”, “Apprenticeships,”<br />
“Interview Techniques”, “Volunteering”, “Building<br />
a Personal Brand” and more. It is clear from the<br />
evaluation forms that the conference was highly<br />
successful for students, staff and presenters with<br />
students feeling much more confident and equipped<br />
to plan for their futures.<br />
Thinking<br />
of<br />
becoming<br />
a<br />
doctor?<br />
A<br />
group of students from year 11 attended a conference on Saturday 2nd July <strong>2016</strong> run<br />
by “Medic Mentors” on “Making it into Medicine”.<br />
The conference was run by practising doctors and covered topics such as what doctors do,<br />
applying to medical school, different routes in to medicine, work experience, BMAT (Biomedical<br />
Admissions Test) exams, personal statements and the interview process. Students were left in no<br />
doubt about the process and expectations of studying medicine. All were given a course workbook<br />
to be included in their portfolio for interview. An exciting development from this is the school will<br />
be setting up a Student Society that will have a doctor as a mentor to advise all of the students at<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> interested in medicine as a career. The members of the Student Society will receive monthly<br />
packs about developments in medicine, work experience and publishing opportunities and could join<br />
the National Medic Mentor Student Leaders’ Committee.<br />
