All Hallows Visit London to Experience Life At One of The UK’s Top Employers Eight Year 12 students aged 16 to19 from All Hallows Catholic College headed to London in November to get a taste of life at Excelian, one of Britain’s most influential organisations to boost their networking and employability skills and to be formally inducted into The Career Academy UK Programme. The eye-opening visit was part of a day-long event, ‘A Capital Experience’, organised by Career Academies UK, the charity that helps young people prepare for the world of work. The day involved around 1,400 students from across the UK, who visited companies such as Accenture, Balfour Beatty and L’Oreal for workplace tours, Q&A sessions and ‘hands-on’ activities to give them a flavour of what it’s like to work there. For many of the students this was the first time they had been to London or had access to such large-scale, influential businesses. 14
