A Chance in the Army
Lance Corporal John Hill came to college at the end of May to talk to a group of Year 8 and 9 students about the careers and opportunities that a career in the Army can bring.
Lance Corporal Hill talked to students about his own career pathway in the Coldstream Guards, which has included travel to 15 different countries, elite Sports, jungle training in Belize, disaster relief operations, and representing the Forces at state events such as the Queen’s funeral.
He spoke to students about how the Army fully embraces cultural diversity and equality in all areas.
Students discovered that the Army is one of the UK’s biggest employers of apprentices, with a wide range of roles available including:
