Drumchapel High School Career Carousel

120 Second Year pupils from Drumchapel High School in Glasgow took part in an S2 Options Carousel on 26^th February, organised by SBC’s Glasgow based Closing the Gap initiative.

The event was intended to allow pupils to meet local Glasgow employers, find out about the industry that they represent and help the pupils choose the options they would like for S3 and S4. Each employer also stressed the importance of positive attendance and behaviour records as well as the academic qualifications they look for when recruiting.  They day was action packed and fun, with pupils having the chance to get a little “hands on” experience as well as gather information from the employers.

The event was supported by BAA; Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport; Scottish Water, The Chartered Institute of Bankers; Social Work Training; Local Community Police; Local Fire & Rescue; City Inn; Army REME; Royal Navy; Best Western and SEPA.
