Youngsters have been put on the road to their future careers after an automotive software company helped to steer them in the right direction.
Cooper Solutions, based in Barford, dropped into Myton School, in Warwick, to support the school’s Careers Fair for Year 10 students.
The firm, which produces web-based automotive software for car dealerships, spoke with pupils about careers in the industry during the event at the school on Myton Road.
Barry Cooper, managing director of Cooper Solutions, said: “We were delighted to have been invited by Myton School to share the work of our company and to discuss career opportunities available in the industry.
“Events like this are crucial in helping the next generation decide what career path they would like to follow and to raise awareness of the wide range of careers available.
“We have always worked to support schools in the area and we have a track record of employing local people, so we look forward to working with Myton School again in the future.”
Other firms which exhibited at the fair included those in the legal, retail, health, design and defence sectors.
Sally Kirk, assistant head at Myton School, said: “Careers events like this are essential in supporting students to develop their ideas about future careers choices.
“They depend entirely on the support of local and national businesses and we were delighted to welcome Cooper Solutions to Myton School, along with nearly 50 other businesses.
“Student’s feedback from the day has been entirely positive and we are looking forward to developing greater links with industry to further broaden this vital area of our student’s experience.”
