Praise for HOP’s past Generation events
“The Generation careers fairs play a vital role in raising young people’s aspirations and ensuring they are best placed to seize the opportunities on their doorstep.”
Adrian Hawkins OBE, Chair, Hertfordshire Futures Skills Advisory Panel and Stevenage Development Board
“It enabled my students to speak 121 with employers, gain confidence in speaking to possible employers, improve life skills in speaking to employers, encouraged conversation re what careers they may wish to pursue in future.”
Careers Leader attending Generation Stevenage 2024
“It’s been absolutely fantastic, we’ve had some really engaged students and I think we’ve broadened their minds to the wonderful careers at Tesco, from HR to marketing, to technical and finance.”
Samantha Sullivan, Pre-employability & Work Placement Manager at Tesco, commenting on Generation Broxbourne 2024
“It makes all the activities we have planned for Year 11 more purposeful as we can reflect back. Many of our pupils haven’t had the opportunity to meet any employers as yet and it gives them the confidence to take part in other planned activities.”
Careers Leader, commenting on Generation Broxbourne
“It’s helpful to speak to people in industry to find out the best route into a career.”
Parent, commenting on Generation Broxbourne 2024
“If your child is indecisive or is not clear what they want to do/study after their GCSEs this event could help them.”
