Careers Fair! – Thomas Mills High School

July 21, 2025

Each year we host our annual careers fair. We have between 30-40 employers, further education and apprenticeship providers join us. All year groups are invited to attend with their parents. Many of our alumni return to represent the business or apprenticeship they are now with. This is a lovely way to engage current students as they can give personal experiences from their time at school as well as the journey they took to get where they are now. We also have colleges, universities and apprenticeship providers in attendance. There is a wide range of stands covering many career opportunities.
