Damian Griffith

Today, Oasis Lister Park welcomed Mitchel Kellwood,  a Senior Supervisor from the Bank of England to highlight National Careers Week 2023.  Mitchell delivered an engaging presentation to our Year 8 cohort where he outlined the key role the Bank of England plays in our economy.  He also outlined the various career opportunities at the Bank of England, whist also displelling a few myths on what is required to work there. Mitchell also gave a detailed description the various routes to employment including level 4 apprenticeships,  internships, graduate apprenticeships and the black future leaderds programme.  Our students asked Mitchell some searching questions such, How much is a bar of gold work? When is the Kings head going to appear on the notes? and how much money can the bank print?  A fantastic even which ended in a round of applause for our guest speaker.
