Classroom to Careers June | Bucks Skills

Make this Summer productive with "Classroom to Careers"

The summer holidays are nearly here, and while having fun and relaxing is important, there's nothing worse than getting to the end of the six-week stretch and realising you haven't done anything productive. Not this year, though!

Bucks Skills have rounded up the best workshops, events, and other career-building opportunities to help you have a productive summer.

The "Classroom to Careers" June 2025 newsletter from Buckinghamshire Skills Hub is packed with exciting opportunities for students and families looking to explore career paths and build valuable skills.

Classroom to Careers

Here's a snapshot of what you'll find:
