Inspiring Future Mathematicians: Online Maths Careers Workshop for Years 9 & 10
High-achieving Maths students from Years 9 and 10 at Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent recently participated in an Online Maths Careers Workshop, an enriching event held in collaboration with the Trust's Specialist Executive Maths Teacher. This unique session was tailored to showcase the vital role Maths plays in various careers and the value of continuing Maths studies beyond GCSE.
During the 40-minute workshop, students interacted with a panel of guest speakers, each from a unique career path where Maths is an essential tool. Panellists shared insights into their day-to-day roles, describing both the challenges and rewards they encounter. By listening to these real-life applications, students gained a new perspective on how Maths skills translate to the world of work.
One of the workshop’s goals was to help students make valuable connections between their curriculum and future career pathways. With each event offering different speakers and new insights, our Maths department looks forward to further workshops, continuing to inspire the next generation of mathematicians!
