Royal Navy Visit KGS

Last week, the Royal Navy visited Orkney to speak to local young people about the different roles available with the organisation.
 
At Kirkwall Grammar School, all S3 pupils attended a presentation that highlighted the different types of work the Royal Navy do all around the world, with no two days being the same.

​There was then a focussed session for any pupils interested in a career at sea or, more specifically, with the Navy.  The pupils who attended were very lucky to be able to get the chance to speak directly with the Recruitment team, asking more specific questions and getting valuable information first hand that would help them with their applications.
 
Finally, the officers attended an Engineering Science class to speak to pupils about the engineering careers that they offer.  This gave pupils an insight into the various ways to get into engineering and the different levels they can start at, or work towards.
 
Throughout the day the message from the Royal Navy was clear: there are many different roles and opportunities within the Navy, all at different entry levels to suit different people.  Once enrolled, they promote continuous learning with the chance to add more qualifications that will help with future promotion or moving on to other jobs.  Anyone joining the Navy is well supported and very quickly will feel part of the team.
 
Thank you to the Royal Navy for providing these sessions.  The recruitment team will be back in Orkney later this year, so anyone who missed their chance to speak to them will have another chance to speak to them.  Keep an eye out on our social media pages for more details.
