Careers Events
We host and plan a number of exciting Careers Events throughout the year including the Woodlands Meed Business Brunch and the Woodlands Meed Careers and Transitions Fair, as well as a variety of activities during National Careers Week.
Business Brunch
Woodlands Meed have hosted several Networking Brunches as part of their strategy to engage with the local business community.
These meetings give us the opportunity to share great news about students’ progress into the workplace, our development of the Supported Internship programme and a call to action to engage with the college in a number of different ways –as a guest speaker, hosting visits, providing work experience, and fundraising.
Inspire Café, our student led enterprise provided the catering for these events, giving employers the opportunity to meet students and see the potential contribution they can make to their workforce.
Team Brit
In July 2024, a group of students got the opportunity to visit Team Brit which gives people with disabilities the chance to compete with able-bodied drivers in national motor racing events.
The students got great insight into STEM challenges of adapting vehicles to use hand control technology.
This visit was a reward trip for great teamwork on a work experience project, spending a half-term providing a valued service to parents and children of our neighbouring primary school.
Time for Transition
The Meed’s Job Club were delighted to welcome a variety of transitions services to college during Spring term parents evening.
