Year 11 students from schools across Accrington attended the highly anticipated "Amazing Accrington Futures" event, which promised to provide a glimpse into the exciting opportunities awaiting them after their upcoming GCSE examinations.

Hosted at Accrington Stanley, the event brought together local businesses, colleges, and universities to showcase a wide range of potential career paths and educational routes for the eager students. The event aimed to inspire and inform young minds about the endless possibilities for their futures.

The event featured interactive exhibits, informative workshops, and inspiring talks from guest speakers who shared their journeys and experiences. This allowed students to explore different career options, gain insights into various industries, and learn about further education choices available to them in Accrington and beyond.

Local businesses and colleges were equally thrilled to participate and inspire the future workforce. The event has become an annual tradition and has played a pivotal role in connecting students to local opportunities and fostering a strong sense of community in Accrington.

Mrs Ross Careers Advisor said “The Amazing Accrington Futures event was not only informative but also incredibly motivating, leaving Year 11 students eager to embark on their educational and career journeys with newfound knowledge and enthusiasm. As they head into their final year of secondary education, these students now have a clearer vision of the exciting futures that await them”.
