Careers Week- the police

, , , , , ,

Today GMP visited Year 6 to discuss what it is like to have a career in the police. They discussed the training which is needed before police officers are allowed on duty. They talked about how important it is in all careers for people not to have a criminal record. They shared with us what type of roles they work in and what equipment they carry. The class enjoyed arresting me and putting me handcuffs. 

I hope we have inspired some of you to think about a career in the police.

Careers Week

, , , , ,

To begin Careers Week in year 6 we have discussed 8 core skills that are transferable to any industry. These include: problem solving, communication, creativity, proactivity, leadership, teamwork, resillience and adaptability.

We then did some research about different careers to find out which skills that person uses in their day to day life. We also found out some of the qualifications needed. Later in the week we will be creating our own CVs thinking about our own skills and strengths. We also do further research into some unfamiliar careers.
