Cumbrian school hosts 'World of Work Day' careers fair with 22 employers
Pupils from a Cumbrian school participated in mock interviews with external companies as part of a careers fair. The Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton recently held its annual 'World of Work Day' on Friday, July 10. This event featured 22 external companies conducting mock interviews for Year 10 pupils and holding a Careers Fair for Year 7, 8, and 10 pupils. The event featured 22 external companies conducting mock interviews for Year 10 pupils (Image: Supplied) The aim of the day was for pupils to take ownership of their life choices, have meaningful encounters with potential employers, and think about the careers they can pursue and the qualifications they need to achieve them. The event was designed to potentially influence pupils' post-16 choices. Pupils also had the opportunity to explore a wide range of career opportunities through employers from the area, to help them discover potential career pathways they may not have considered previously. The school contacting previous supporters and inviting parents to suggest businesses they would like their child to learn about (Image: Supplied) Two sessions were led by Moneywise Credit Union and ASK Apprenticeships. The day was organised, as it is every year, by Julia Mullarkey, the school's careers leader. Planning for the event starts before Christmas, with the school contacting previous supporters and inviting parents to suggest businesses from the area they would like their child to learn about. Year 10 pupils are asked about their current industry interests, and their interests are closely matched with the range of employers, colleges, and training providers invited to attend the careers fair and conduct mock interviews. Pupils prepare their CVs during career and PSHE lessons in the spring term, and each pupil receives a personal timetable of events across the morning. The timetable includes suggested questions for all the employers that have a stand in the careers fair. Pupils had the opportunity to explore a wide range of career opportunities (Image: Supplied) The school also invites Year 7 and Year 8 pupils to the careers fair, along with their subject teacher, with the aim of helping them begin to link their subjects with careers. Year 9 pupils, who have just made their GCSE options, also get to explore the careers fair to link their new subjects with careers. The school said they recruit employers based on feedback from pupils to ensure the event is fully relevant and meaningful. This is done through a pre- and post-event survey that helps the school identify the needs and interests of the pupils. The data also shows the positive impact of the event on young people, with some even securing future job offers on the day as a result of the mock interview and CV-building process. The event was hailed as a success by the school and the participating companies, with many pupils reportedly gaining valuable insights into their potential future careers. The companies that participated in the mock interviews included Bensons, Innovia, Dodd Accountants, System People, Land & Nature Skills Service, Steadmans Roofing, OT University of Cumbria, Eden Valley Hospice, and David Allen. Other companies in attendance included Seavor Chartered, Armstrong & Watson, Paragon Vets, Fluid Productions, Futamura, Lloyd Motor Group, CCL Secure, Cumbria Police, DNV, Harrison & Hetherington, and Halo by Alix. The careers fair saw participation from the likes of Bensons, Futamura, Innovia Scottish Racing Academy, Land & Nature Skills Service, Belle Vue Vets, and Armstrong & Watson. Bendalls Engineering, Dodd Accountancy, Manchester Uni, UKAEA & Sellafield, Blood Bikes, Harrison & Hetherthington Ltd, PPM, Myerscough College, Heidelberg Materials, Chysalis, BIFFA, and BAE Sytems also took park. As did David Allen, System People, University of Cumbria, Riverside Recruitment, HSBC, Carlisle United, Lloyd Motor Group, Gen2, Seavor Chartered, Wigton Computer Museum, NHS/CNTW, NCIC, and RAF.

Last Stand: Five NFL Quarterbacks Fighting for Their Futures in 2025
The 2025 NFL season will define careers for several quarterbacks who find themselves at critical crossroads. Whether rebounding from injury, silencing critics, or proving they're worth long-term deals, these five QBs have everything on the line. Also Read: 1. Anthony Richardson: Indianapolis Colts The Colts' signing of Daniel Jones means this is a make-or-break year for Anthony Richardson. The pressure is on as the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has yet to show he's capable of being a franchise quarterback. While he's been plagued with injuries, his on-field opportunity to prove himself to Indianapolis is dwindling. Related: 2. Bryce Young: Carolina Panthers Bryce Young has a lot to prove for the Panthers after a rocky start to his NFL career. His poor play led to him being temporarily benched last season. Young needs to show real growth and prove he's the franchise quarterback Carolina envisioned. He's shown flashes, but if he doesn't take a major step forward this season, the Panthers could start looking at other options. Related: 3. Caleb Williams: Chicago Bears Caleb Williams' first year at quarterback didn't live up to expectations for the Bears. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft led his team to a mere 5-12 record last season. His rookie season was dramatically overshadowed by the quarterback taken after him, Jayden Daniels, who led the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship Game in his first season. Year two will be a chance for Williams and Chicago to bounce back after a disappointing campaign. Related: 4. Justin Fields: New York Jets This season is likely Justin Fields' final chance to establish himself as a starting quarterback in the NFL. After an up-and-down tenure in Chicago and limited action for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Fields now has a fresh start with the New York Jets. The pressure is immense, and if he struggles again, he risks being labeled a career backup. Related: 5. Trevor Lawrence: Jacksonville Jaguars After successful campaigns in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Trevor Lawrence struggled for the Jaguars in 2024. Given that Jacksonville gave him a $275 million extension, he's been given the keys to the franchise. For a team that has historically struggled as much as the Jaguars, the pressure is now on Lawrence to turn things around and show he was worth the big contract. If the team continue to struggle, fingers will start to be pointed.
