Dale had his first visit to Ipswich School and… it was an epic day!
The day started with a windy, rainy run 🏃♂️around Ipswich Harbour - the perfect wake-up call to get fired up for a busy day of workshops!
Session 1 kicked off in the school’s stunning chapel with Personal Branding for Year 12 students.
After lunch, we moved into 'Interview 101' for students exploring Degree Apprenticeships 🎓, before heading back to the Year 12s for an 'Introduction to LinkedIn.'
We wrapped up the day with some dedicated 1-to-1 LinkedIn profile support, helping students put all the learning into action straight away.
Oh, and for added excitement, 🏉 Rugby Legend Kevin Sinfield came through the school as part of his '7 Ultra Marathons in 7 Days' challenge to raise funds for MNDA. Which kind of put Dale's “I’m having a busy day” in perspective!
💬 The feedback from staff has been great:
“The students were buzzing after your sessions. The feedback has been amazing. Thank you.”
“Each session was delivered with such energy and passion and the feedback from students and staff has been amazing. Thank you so much, I hope we can invite you back to Ipswich School again soon.”
Huge thanks to the team at Ipswich School for having Dale and My Great First Job - He would love to come back!
