College careers cafe goes ‘out of this world’

Last week’s Careers Cafe at Frome Community College, held on Wednesday 16th March, was a great success and over 700 students attended the event to listen to guest speakers from the world of science, engineering, maths and data, transport and logistics. 

The college is moving swiftly forwards in promoting STEM activities  [The aim of the national STEM clubs programme is to help secondary schools throughout the UK establish and maintain exciting science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) clubs].

Frome College says, “It was especially exciting to welcome Michelle Robinson who has co-authored a book called The Space Man with Major Tim Peake,  who is now a world famous astronaut serving a 6-month mission aboard the International Space Station.  Photographs from this Careers Cafe will be sent to the British astronaut in space, to help celebrate his achievements.

“Other guests were represented from Renewable Energy, the Institute of Physics, PGP Surveyors, Arla Engineering Degree Apprenticeships, NVB Architects, SEA based in Beckington, the University of Bath, Dennis Maps, Mathematics and Inter-Alia.

The next Careers Cafe will take place on Wednesday 5th May from 8.45-9.30am with the theme of sport, leisure, agriculture and animal care.   If you would like to be a guest speaker at any of our Careers Cafes, please contact Hana.Thompson@fromecollege.org  or CCurtis@fromecollege.org at the college.
