Throughout the day, pupils engaged in a range of interactive and practical activities, including:

• Employability Skills Sessions with Neuro Kind Careers
  Pupils explored essential workplace skills such as communication, confidence, self-awareness, understanding individual strengths and interview technique.

• Mock Employer Interviews
  Pupils took part in realistic interview experiences with real-life employers, giving them the opportunity to practise interview techniques, receive constructive feedback and build confidence.

• Work-Based Literacy and Numeracy
  These sessions focused on applying literacy and numeracy skills in real workplace contexts, helping pupils understand how these skills are used beyond the classroom.

• Problem-Solving Team Building Activity
  Pupils worked collaboratively to solve challenges, developing teamwork, resilience and problem-solving skills that are highly valued by employers.

The Work Skills Day was a valuable opportunity for pupils to prepare for future pathways, including further education, training and employment. We would like to thank Careers Wales, Neuro Kind Careers, and our visiting employers for their support in making the day both engaging and impactful.

We were pleased to welcome representatives from the local hotel Morgans, who shared insights into the wide range of job roles within a hotel environment. Students learned about different departments, including front office, housekeeping, food and beverage, events, and management, as well as the roles and responsibilities associated with each area.

The session highlighted the variety of career pathways available in hospitality, the skills employers look for, and the importance of teamwork, communication, and customer service. Students also had the chance to ask questions and gain a better understanding of what a typical working day in a hotel might look like.

We would like to thank the team from Morgans for their time and for providing such an engaging and informative session for our students.
