What's My Line? at Northstowe Secondary College

Young people are often unaware of the diversity of career options. This event helps to broaden their horizons by turning the usual career talk upside down. Students will be asking employers a series of questions as they try to guess what they do for work. Based in classrooms and requiring no preparation, volunteers will answer students' questions as they work towards guessing the career. Whether they get it right or wrong, the volunteer will ultimately provide an overview of what they do, how they got there and what they enjoy about their job. You will typically rotate through 3-4 classrooms throughout the event. 

Please Note: We are looking for volunteers from a variety of industries and backgrounds to take part in this activity. Due to the nature of the activity we cannot have two people who do the same job taking part. If it happens to be the case that someone who does the same job as you has registered for the event already, we will not be able to register you to attend. 

If you or someone from your organisation is available, please register for more information about the event.  

This event will support schools in working towards achieving Gatsby Benchmark 5: Encounters with employers and employees. Research from the Education and Employers Taskforce shows that a young person who has four or more meaningful encounters with an employer is 86% less likely to be unemployed or not in education or training and can earn up to 22% more during their career.
