OVs at the King’s Careers Week Extravaganza

Over the course of Careers Week 2023, King’s hosted a Careers Extravaganza for both King’s School pupils and those from the wider Worcestershire community.

Following overwhelming interest from our OVs and the local business community, the event was run over four afternoons, opening pupils’ eyes to a plethora of career options and pathways across medicine, professional services, science and engineering, and business and computing. Not only did we have numerous businesses and professionals attending from within the OV and King’s community, but we also welcomed a number of inspirational business leaders, who featured in a series of seminars running each afternoon.

Some highlights included Tim Summers (Br 87-92) talking about his career in law, Claire Gott (Cl 97-06) and Lewis Bryer (Cl 78-87) advising on how to excel in the world of engineering and Drew Benvie (K 85-96) and Georgie Lewis (W 11-18) from Drew’s company Battenhall, talking about their career journeys and what lies ahead for the next generation.

Our many thanks go to all of the OVs who kindly gave of their time to share their experiences and advice with today’s pupils, including, in addition to the above: Steve Perera (Cr 86-93), Kaushik Rai (Br 09-16), Alice Martin (S 16-21), Holly Wylde (Cr 15-22), and Simon Mico (Os 85-96).
