On Thursday 8 March, the inaugural Careers Speed Networking event took place in the Wathen Hall, giving Fifth Form pupils an introduction to a range of professions.
Sixty mentors from across the St Paul’s Community connected with the boys over the course of the lunchtime. The mentors represented a range of jobs, including the CEO of Walt Disney Italy, the EMEA Director of Sales for Apple and Beats Headphones, and the Taekwondo England National Team Coach. This was a valuable opportunity for the boys to gain insights, find inspiration, and to ask those burning questions (though some of the more enterprising boys were disappointed to find their request for free headphones declined!). The day proved beneficial for the mentors too, who were invited to mingle and network afterwards in the Milton Gallery over a light lunch.
