Last week, Moorside High School and Ellesmere Park High School, part of Consilium Academies, were proud to host their annual Careers Fairs, welcoming Year 10 and Year 11 students, along with parents and carers. The events brought together educators, employers, training providers, and organisations from across Greater Manchester to inspire the next generation of learners.

The fairs offered students invaluable opportunities to explore a wide range of post-16 pathways, including further education, apprenticeships, and future career options. Visitors engaged in meaningful conversations, asked questions, and began shaping their aspirations for the future.

A heartfelt thank you goes to all the partners who contributed their time, expertise, and inspiration, including:

• Salford City College Group – Sharon Sharples, Clare Jolly

• The Manchester College – Tom Astall
