As part of our careers provision at Armthorpe Academy, we have built up a large bank of employers that work with us to provide careers related events, workshops and trips. Each academic year, as part of Gatsby benchmark 5 (Encounters with employers), we aim to provide multiple employer encounters per year group to our students.

We host a range of employers at our careers fairs, mock interview events and LMI themed lessons, as well as teaming up with local businesses to provide our students with a workplace visits and work experience.
