CAREERS AND PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS

Our Careers and Networks platform brings together students, recent leavers and the wider CHS community to share professional insight and opportunity. Sixth Formers use the network for university guidance, project research and career exploration, and we invite Old Waconians and parents to support them as mentors, speakers and providers of work experience. By offering your time or seeking advice, you help strengthen a lifelong CHS network.

FIND A MENTOR

Connect with experienced Old Waconians, parents and staff who are ready to share their insight and support. Whether you’re choosing university courses, exploring career options or taking your first professional steps, a mentor can offer guidance, perspective and encouragement at every stage.

PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS

Whether you're just starting out or have years of expertise to share, joining a professional network can help you in your career development.

Our Professional Networks are new and could use your backing. Browse and join a Network, and contact us if you'd like to be more involved in running one of the networks.
