Enact performance workshop for schools

Our Careers Team work with Enact Solutions, a drama based training provider, to provide a 45 minute drama based performance to local schools in Surrey.

There are age appropriate performances for both primary and secondary schools:

  • Who Care's for primary schools
  • Think Careers for secondary schools

Both performances encourage young people to consider the possibilities available to them within the health and social care sector. The performance topics show

  • The types of careers in health and care. There are over 350 different roles - it's more than 'just' being a doctors or a nurse.

  • The pathways and progression routes, including apprenticeships.

  • How having a job in healthcare offers training and career progression.

  • Where to get help, support and more information.

Our Careers Ambassadors can attend these sessions to answer any question a young person might have at the end of the performance.
