THS Careers Convention – Wednesday 29 January

We are delighted to invite pupils in Years 9-12 to our annual Careers Convention which will take place on Wednesday 29 January, 6.00pm-8.00pm, in and around the  Main Hall. 

Teesside High School’s Careers Convention is an informative event which attracts over 40 universities, training providers and local businesses in order to provide up-to-date careers advice and guidance to our students. Students in Year 9 and above all have important decisions to make about their future and this event will give them the opportunity to research into the myriad of opportunities that are available.

This is a brilliant opportunity for students to get a particular taste of different areas or careers they may wish to go into in the future.  We do hope that you will come to meet the professionals and academics who will be here to provide information on different careers, apprenticeships and courses. We will have representatives from a wide range of sectors and organisations, both employers new to this event alongside long-standing supporters, including:

• Armed Forces
• Accountancy, including Baines Jewitt
• Charity, including the Great North Air Ambulance
• Financial Services, including Newcastle Building Society and Mercury Wealth Management
• Data Science, including Boclips
• Dentistry
• Civil and Mechanical Engineering, including Cummins, Worley and Billinghurst, George & Partners
• Marketing and Graphic Design, including Yellowbox and Room for Design
• Medicine, with representatives from both general practice and consultancy roles
• Nursing and Social Care, including Moonrise
• Physiotherapy, including Sunderland AFC
• Teaching, including Stockton Teacher Training Partnership.

Mr Hannah, Head of THS Sixth Form, will also be available to discuss A-level options and the UCAS process, and we will also have representation from local and national Apprenticeship providers.

For those students in Year 9, this will be the first opportunity to gather information about a broad range  of careers which should help to further inform the basis of option choices for GCSE. For students in Years 10 and 11, this is an opportunity to both develop their thoughts on future careers and to start to think about options for post-16 study. Year 12 students should use this event to prepare for the UCAS applications that they will be making in Year 13 or explore apprenticeship and gap year opportunities. University Admissions Officers will be on hand to offer advice on the background of different universities and the range of courses available.

Networking and gathering contacts amongst the delegates at the Careers Convention, many of whom are new for 2025, will enable our pupils to broaden their knowledge, secure work experience placements, help gain entry to university or secure higher and advanced level apprenticeships.
