Year 7 and Year 8 pupils recently took part in an engaging careers workshop delivered by The Inspirational Learning Group (TILG) in partnership with British Airways as part of the Future Airline Challenge, organised by Miss Rothwell, Careers Lead.
During the session, pupils stepped into the role of business teams to design their own airline concept. They explored key areas such as branding, budgeting and decision-making, gaining a real insight into how a major airline operates behind the scenes. Rather than simply learning about jobs, pupils experienced the kinds of challenges faced in careers across aviation, including marketing, finance, engineering and management.
The workshop aimed to build awareness of essential employability skills, with a strong focus on teamwork, communication and problem-solving. By working within realistic constraints and presenting their ideas, pupils developed confidence and a better understanding of how their school subjects link to future careers.
Opportunities like this, are invaluable in helping to bridge the gap between education and employment. They encourage pupils to think more broadly about their aspirations, while equipping them with the practical skills and mindset needed for the modern workplace.
