A Day In The Life Of...

Explore Your Future Career: “A Day in the Life Of…” Workshops

Our fantastic “Day in the Life Of…” workshops vary in length, but whenever they take place, the impact is undeniable. These sessions have helped many participants take real steps toward landing their dream job.

The idea is simple but powerful: meet the people who are actually doing the hiring and hear—straight from the source—what skills and qualities they're looking for. It’s also a brilliant opportunity for you to showcase your potential, ask questions, and make valuable connections. Many job offers and training opportunities have come directly from these workshops.

Led by industry professionals, these tasters give you first-hand insight into what it’s really like to work in different sectors. You might get to visit a workplace or take part in informal discussions with employers, gaining the kind of insider knowledge that really makes a CV stand out.

We're running these sessions in direct response to local employers who are actively looking for new talent and want to support people into meaningful work and training.

Some of the exciting workshops we’ve delivered so far include:

• Pink Boutique – a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry
• St Cuthbert’s Care – insights into working in social care
• Foresight – an introduction to the digital and gaming sector
• Keepmoat Homes – an interactive session on careers in house building
• Newcastle University – exploring the wide range of non-academic roles available at a world-class institution
• Edwards Commercial Cleaning – a practical insight into the commercial cleaning industry.

We’re always looking to host more of these sessions—so if there’s a particular industry you’d love to explore, we’d love to hear from you.
