National Careers Week

We have a longstanding relationship with Ashton Sixth Form College, supporting its Be Ambitious employability programme, hosting visits from careers staff, and generally doing everything we can to help its students learn more about the world of work and make informed choices about possible careers.

As part of this partnership, we were honoured to be invited back last week to participate in the college’s Empowering Futures event, hosted by the Stamford Park Trust to coincide with National Careers Week and International Women’s Day.

Liz Warden and Kerry Hogan from Mailbox met a range of students from different year groups and enjoyed talking to them about their own careers and the challenges they have encountered – and overcome.

Seeing the product designers, account managers, engineers and company directors of tomorrow was an absolute pleasure. There really is no limit to what these talented and committed students can go on to achieve, and we look forward to continuing to be part of their journey.
