On 29th January and 5th February, Year 10 students visited Holmes Mill as part of the Clitheroe Royal Grammar School Careers Programme.
Students visited in groups of 15 for a busy hour of activities. They were given a presentation about the James’ Places group and a tour of the different parts of the Holmes Mill site, including the Spinning Block Hotel and the Food Court as well as the ‘duck-pin’ bowling alley. There was a talk from a brewer, who spoke about working whilst also studying for a Degree Apprenticeship. Students learned about how the business is working with universities and recruiting graduates into various roles, as well as the many part-time opportunities for young people. The visit finished with an insightful question and answer session.
We are very grateful to James’ Places for accommodating our students. It was clear that they learned a great deal about the diverse individual businesses that make up the group and the wide range of job roles available.
The visits will help students to think about different career and study routes as they begin to consider post-16 options and look further ahead at post-18 decisions, in due course.
