On Thursday 3^rd February 2011, 60 students attended the 'What Next?' careers event held in house at Droylsden Academy. The event took the form of career speed dating session in which students had three minutes to talk to a range of professionals such as a barrister, a nuclear engineer and a doctor about further education, their career and the pathways they followed to get where they are to date. The students demonstrated great enthusiasm and were a credit to the Academy.
