Buttercups Training are proud to have exhibited recently at the John Taylor High School Careers Fair!

It was a great opportunity to showcase the rewarding career opportunities available in pharmacy, while also sharing information from Lyceum Education Group's recruitment team on how students can join the talent pool and access apprenticeship opportunities across the wider group.

Supporting initiatives that help prevent young people from becoming Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) is vital. By providing careers advice, raising awareness of apprenticeships, and connecting students with future opportunities, we can help them take positive next steps towards their careers.

It was great talking to all year groups about opportunities of working in the pharmacy and healthcare industries. Events like this play an important role in helping young people explore career options, build confidence, and discover pathways into employment and training.

A big thank you to John Taylor High School for hosting such an important event. For those students at JTHS who recently received their GCSE results, we hope you did well!
