YEAR 10 SoW CLASSES - FE-FOCUSED - CV WRITING
YEAR 10 SoW CLASSES - FE-FOCUSED - CV WRITING
What a great opportunity for our students to get ready for their upcoming Year 11 World of Work! They can work on this during their SoW classes, as well as Advisory time too, so they can have lots of input and advice on how to create the best documents!
Over the past month the FE team have been planning FE-focused Science of Wellbeing classes for the Year 10 students. The second round of classes have been taking place over the past two weeks, where we continued to refine CVs in preparation for the students' World of Work experiences, happening in November 2026.
We hope that the students found it helpful. They should continue to work on their CVs so that they're ready to send off to potential employers.
You can view our slides HERE
"I particularly enjoyed the part of the class where we discussed the "good" and "bad" elements of various CVs. It was really helpful to see concrete examples of what makes a CV stand out and to learn about the common pitfalls to avoid."
