Y9 IntoUniversity Workshops Supporting Aspiration, Achievement and Access to Higher Education and Future Careers

9 Jul 2021

Across May 2021, all Y Park Vale Academy Year 9 students participate in an intensive programme of talks and workshops introducing  our students to different career options. Into University staff and volunteers from a wide range of professions lead hands-on workshops about their career pathway, offering students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the working world and gain knowledge of the skills and qualifications they need to pursue their ambitions. The two workshops will focus on transferable skills and an introduction to higher education.

“The IntoUniversity programme has a positive transformational impact on young people in terms of their academic success, attitudes to learning and social skills … Into University has played a key role in helping children and young people in clarifying, supporting and strengthening their aspirations and achieving their goals.”
