Privilege to be at Woodbridge School

Dale with Sharon Stafford, Careers Lead

Last week Dale had the privilege of returning to Woodbridge School in Suffolk for a packed day of talks and coaching sessions on Degree Apprenticeships and LinkedIn 🚀.

He started with a session to the entire 6th Form on LinkedIn, showing students how to showcase their achievements, explore opportunities, and build meaningful connections.

It’s been brilliant to see so many of them subsequently setting up profiles, and posting and engaging on the platform. 👏

He then gave a presentation about the many opportunities available through Degree Apprenticeships 🎓, followed by a flurry of conversations with students eager to explore careers in everything from fashion and finance to law, engineering, aerospace, and real estate.

He also had a series of 1-2-1 conversations, where we went deeper into career aspirations, critiqued LinkedIn profiles, and shared tailored resources to help each student move forward.

It was a busy and hugely rewarding day 🙌

A big thank you to Sharon Stafford, Careers Lead at Woodbridge, for inviting Dale back (and for joining me for a selfie 📸!).

Sharon later shared these kind words on LinkedIn that meant a lot:

"Every time I hear him speak, I leave feeling energised and validated, because we’re so aligned in our message to young people. A huge thank you, Dale, for continuing to inspire our students!"

Super-grateful for the chance to help the students explore their options and take confident steps into the future.
