About this Event
A high-energy, interactive day for Year 9-10 male students (ages 13-15), hosted by a leading motivational speaker and welcomed into the corporate setting of Linklaters in central London.
Now in its 14th year, the Rocking Ur Teens Boys' Conference brings together inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops and direct encounters with professionals across business, sport, finance, the creative industries and more, giving boys a glimpse of futures they may never have considered.
Supporting Your Careers Programme: Gatsby Benchmarks 3, 4 & 5
This conference is structured to help your school evidence delivery against three of the eight Gatsby Benchmarks - the statutory framework for careers guidance in secondary schools.
✓ Benchmark 3 - Addressing the needs of each pupil Specifically designed to challenge stereotypes about who succeeds and in which industries, raise aspirations among boys from underrepresented backgrounds, and tackle the well-documented gap in post-16 outcomes for boys. Diverse role models share authentic stories that help students see themselves in roles they may have been told weren't for them.
✓ Benchmark 4 - Linking curriculum learning to careers Workshops bring the PSHE, Citizenship and wider curriculum to life by connecting classroom learning to real-world career pathways - from communication and English to data, business, creative arts and STEM-led professions.
✓ Benchmark 5 - Encounters with employers and employees A full day of meaningful, structured interactions with multiple employers and professionals across sectors, including hosts Linklaters - one of the world's leading law firms.
