Save The Date! Open Your Eyes Week is back November 2024.
As we move towards the end of an exciting academic year the Cardiff Commitment Team will start planning our 7th Virtual Open Your Eyes week for primary school children in years five and six from across Cardiff.
We will be looking to open children's eyes to the different opportunities available in the world of work. Our most recent Open Your Eyes Week in June 2024 saw organisations such as Specsavers, Network Rail, HMRC and Legal & General inspire pupils across the city. Thank you to all who took part!
We know that this year will be bigger and better and the team can't wait to inspire the next generation of pupils across our schools!
