WELCOME TO THE FHS CAREERS FAIR 2020

HOSTED BY FHS REGENT’S PARK

WEDNESDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2020

The FHS Careers Fair 2020 was hosted virtually by FHS Regent’s Park. As we were unable to invite you into School this year, we have curated a virtual event page, which we hope provides you with a better insight into our Careers Education and the opportunities on offer to you. Our aim is to inspire you to think about career paths and opportunities you may, as yet, not have considered.

Once you have looked through our event page, please find the recording of the talk and Q&A with guest speaker, Jessica Huie MBE, entrepreneur and author.

A welcome message from Charles Fillingham, Headmaster

We also like to encourage girls to think outside the box by offering opportunities with partners such as 7 Billion Ideas.

The Upper Fifth (Year 11) take psychometric tests with MyCareerChoices followed by external career advisor interviews where they discuss their A level applications and future plans.
