Students at Tor Bridge High explored post-school options with employers, universities, and training providers at the school’s annual careers fair.

Exhibitors included HM Land Registry, the University of Plymouth, the University of Exeter, Babcock International Group, ATL Plymouth, the NHS, Princess Yachts and many more, giving students the chance to learn about education, apprenticeships, and career pathways.

Parents of Year 11 and 13 students were also invited in the evening to speak with experts alongside their children about options and next steps.

Part of the Ted Wragg Trust, Tor Bridge High offers a broad careers programme designed to support students throughout their time at the school. Alongside events like the careers fair, students have access to workshops, one-to-one guidance sessions, and regular information about education, training, and employment pathways. 

The programme aims to help students understand the choices available to them, develop skills for future study and work, and feel confident in making informed decisions about their next steps.

Tracy Stephenson, headteacher at Tor Bridge High, said:

“Our careers fair gives students the opportunity to meet a wide range of employers and education providers, ask questions, and explore the paths open to them. Seeing our students engage so thoughtfully shows just how seriously they’re thinking about their futures.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, said:

“Events like this give young people the tools and confidence to shape their own futures. Supporting students to make informed choices is at the heart of what we do, and it helps strengthen communities by connecting young people with local employers, education providers, and opportunities in the region.”
