Seeking well networked locals to support students at Haringey Sixth Form Centre

Haringey Sixth Form Centre on White Hart Lane runs a Career Academy for students on Business and IT courses.  The aim of the programme is to raise the students' aspirations by exposing them to the business community and opening their eyes to opportunities they may not have appreciated are available to them.

The Sixth Form Centre is seeking to expand its business links to provide more opportunities for their students including:

• one to one mentoring
• workplace visits
• visiting speakers on business and employability topics
• paid internships

A breakfast meeting is being held at The Gallery Restaurant (run by the Hospitality and Catering students) at the Sixth Form Centre on Wednesday 16th March at 8:30am to explore existing links and potential contacts.

There are some short films here which give a good overview of the Career Academy programme and its benefits.

If you're interested to find out more and think that you or people you know might be able to support personally or make some introductions, please let me know and I'll send details and an agenda. I'm the Regional Manager for London and the South East at Career Academies UK and a Harringay resident. You can contact me at rhiannon.evans@careeracademies.org.uk  NB: attendance at this meeting does not oblige you to support the programme.
