During this year’s German exchange, students took part in a group workshop to research topical elements of school and careers, as part of our joint project, supported by the UK-German connection. In particular, students considered the role of technology and AI, the links between school and future careers, how schools interact with the local community, the ethos and principles at school, and skill development. We were lucky enough to be joined at the workshop by Louise Kettle from IBM, who spoke to students about our partnership with IBM, as well as internships, the role of AI and key employability skills.
