Pupils from five local schools headed to Anfield for Red Neighbours’ career speed networking event on Wednesday afternoon.

Year nine students from Alsop High School, Notre Dame Catholic College, North Liverpool Academy and The Academy of St Francis of Assisi had the opportunity to meet with Liverpool FC staff from a variety of departments to hear about their career paths to date and gain advice for the future.

Jennifer Lee from professional services firm KPMG and Alex Cousins from Capita were also on hand to chat to the youngsters about their experiences and working history.

Notre Dame Catholic College student Grace Kain said: "Today was really good, we were able to learn things about all different kinds of jobs. One thing that stood out for me was that the most important thing is to just try my best in whatever I do and do what I enjoy".

Since the first session in 2017, career speed networking has engaged hundreds of local children and demonstrates Red Neighbours' commitment to creating memorable experiences for young people.
