It is with great sadness I must inform you all that today is my last day with Wave, as their Careers and Events Project Manager. During the interim period, any enquiries please forward onto tclaridge@waveedu.org Thank you all x

This week has been a week of ORGANISATION, yay! Anyone else get excited about creating documents, arranging them, clearing notes from notebooks, adding flare to spreadsheets and powerpoints, or just me? 😂 Getting ready for the schools return has never felt better!

Yesterday, @Nine_MaidensAPA visited Duchy Rosewarne College. We took a couple students over to volunteer cleaning up their public cycle path. A successful work experience boys, you did us proud! @DeLaRoche1971 #workexperience #careerseducation

Last week I visited Falmouth Marine School, what an amazing visit it was. Not only is FMS a brilliant college, as part of the The Cornwall College Group, it is also a smaller college perfect for our hands on students. As you can see, their facilities/courses look incredible too.

@Nine_MaidensAPA @wave_multi Fabulous team! The students are so lucky to have you all ❤️

Today I attended the Your Partnership BIG Lunch at the Penventon Park Hotel. Thank you to the lovely Jay-anne Dingwall for getting myself and James Savage a spot at this wooonderful networking event. The sun was shining just for us!!!

A great meeting with Sarah from Newquay Orchard today, discussing the importance of Horticulture for young people and the amazing impact their Growing Futures Programme is having for students at risk of NEET. A positive start to the week 🙂 #horticulture #careerseducation

What an amazing day at the Royal Cornwall Show, seeing some familiar faces: Mike Bee, Dave Pepperell, Shane Solomon, but also plenty of new faces! I’m excited to contact all new employers next week and see how we can work together bridging the gap between employment and education

What a lovely half term! Lots of great meetings with local employers, networking events and a brilliant catch up with the team at @CareersHubCIoS. Massive amounts of progress being made daily, supporting our students onto inspiring and meaningful futures.
