The Wellington Community programme
As the Wellington Community team, our aim is to provide a meaningful programme of cultural, social, business, careers and educational events and activities for everyone in the Community. We aim to create a programme that helps us come together to reinforce, support and build the special and unique relationship that we all have with Wellington College and with one another.
11.30am, MFL Classrooms, Wellington College
Sixty minutes of career guidance for all Wellington students to find out more about a range of careers from Advertising to Zoology. Broken down into slots, students will have the chance to spend time exploring career options and thinking about how best to position themselves to pursue a career in their chosen field.
We are always grateful to any parents and OWs who are able to offer their support.
If you are interested in volunteering your time to give advice to our young students, please contact: community@wellingtoncollege.org.uk
