Employer Engagement Event: February 2024

On 26 February 2024, the Education Centre welcomed a visit from year nine students and teachers from Anthony Gell School, Wirksworth,.

This is the second time that the school have visited Chesterfield Royal Hospital for an employer engagement event.

The visit is designed to further the interests that students may be considering for future employment. The school have been focussing on developing the employability skills of their students and to broaden their students horizons and expose them to employment opportunities that are available in the NHS as well as other regional employers.

Katy Lowe, Assistant Headteacher, added:"I just wanted to pass on a huge thanks to you and the team at Chesterfield Royal Hospital for supporting our Employer Day visit for our Year 9 cohort. 

"We have been focussing on developing the employability skills of our students and we also want to broaden their horizons and expose them to the vast array of employment opportunities that are available in our local labour market. The students had a great time learning from the professionals that you took the time to arrange to come along. The students also enjoyed the tour of the hospital. It was easy to see the effort that had been put in to ensuring the day was engaging and well planned.

"We can only offer these opportunities to our students due to the good will of our partners so on behalf of the students and staff please accept our sincere thanks."
