Year 13 business learners attended the London Careers Festival at the Guildhall Art Gallery. This event, bridging the gap between young minds and the professional realm, offered an invaluable glimpse into the dynamic world of business and beyond. Nestled within the historic walls of the Guildhall Art Gallery, which proudly displays the City of London's impressive art collection, learners were immersed in a setting that was as culturally enriching as it was career-inspiring. 
  
The festival kicked off with an enlightening careers talk, focusing on the essentials of starting and managing a successful business. This session not only echoed key components of the business curriculum but also ventured into the intricacies of career navigation, equipping learners with valuable information to make thoughtful decisions about their futures. 
  
The day progressed with a networking session, where learners met face-to-face with representatives from diverse companies. This segment of the festival provided a platform for learners to engage in direct dialogue with industry professionals, gaining firsthand insights and forging connections that could shape their career trajectories. 
  
Sharian, techer of Business Studies, reflected on the day , noting, "Today's careers talk and networking opportunity at the London Careers Festival not only reinforced our curriculum in a practical setting but also opened our learners' eyes to the real-world applications of their studies. It was inspiring to see them interact so maturely and passionately with potential future employers."
