ISSUE 01
FUTURE FORWARD THIS IS YOUR FUTURE! Welcome to the first issue of the new Pipers Careers newsletter! All of you will have different skills, interests and aspirations and so it is important that you are informed and inspired about the world of work and what you might go on to achieve after you leave school. After all, the reason that you study and take exams is to build key knowledge and skills to progress into the workplace in the future. In this newsletter we will explore different jobs, sectors and workplace skills, explore alternative pathways including Higher Education, Apprenticeships, and hear from former students who are now pursuing a range of exciting careers in industry.
