Once per school term we host a ‘Business Breakfast Club’, the individuals attending this termly meeting represent a variety of organisations across many industry sectors. The aim of the group is to bridge the gap between education and employment by offering support with and feedback on the Garforth Academy Careers programme. They also provide valuable insights into labour market information (including employment trends and recruitment processes) within their specialism.
