Year 8 and 10 CARD My Future Events

A series of 24 CARD half day taster sessions took place during June and July 2009 for 3000 Year 8 and Year 10 students in the City. These events were run in partnership with Wolverhampton secondary schools, the Connexions service and the Local Authority’s 14-19 Executive.

The events were all about helping young people to start to find out about the information they need, to be able to make the most appropriate and successful choices for the future, whether this might be about options in year 10 and 11, or, for year 10 students, what might be available after year 11.

The taster days included a number of workshops that involved quizzes, board games, treasure hunts, information gathering exercises and a drama production delivered by the Zip Theatre Company.

All students and staff were asked what they thought about the events and the feedback they gave was very positive. Some of these views can be seen on a short video that was produced at the event below.
