On Friday 24th May, Year 10 students at IU Haringey North took part in a Careers in FOCUS session run by Dr Sarah Greaves, Associate Director at Nature Publishing Group. The session was about Publishing and Social Media and students tried their hands at tweeting and blogging. Some of their work is quoted below:

'... IntoUniversity also boosts your confidence in speaking to and working with new people, a lot of teamwork is needed, as well as contributing to get your voice heard, and to communicate with the people that you are working with. For example, on the 4th week things were hectic as we all had to work together, to create a giant poster to advertise the 10th Anniversary. We were against the clock, and had to communicate well in order to achieve success – which we did. I have learned a lot at IntoUniversity, and have really enjoyed the experience.' - Rachade

'...The experience at IntoUniversity is exhilarating so far! I’ve learnt a variety of things during this experience and I still got a lot to learn. I’ve developed skills such as communication, teamwork, being inquisitive, organising etc. IntoUniversity promotes their work to all professionals who would like to volunteer and by the way if you want to get great jobs, you could come to IntoUniversity because it helps you academically, and you can put this on your CV.' - Emma 

'IntoUniversity is full of students with cheerful careers, banging ideas, wonderful and amazing talent and opinions in things. The atmosphere is very homely, caring, enjoyable and fun!

... Once you are part of IntoUniversity, it is the greatest feeling ever! You’d never want to go home! There’s the usual hustle and bustle, giggling combined with our hard work, education, learning and developing skills.

... I am so happy to start being able to set my objectives/goals and make a start in my career. I have now picked subjects for my GCSE’s with my career. My teachers and mentors are so proud of me and my parents couldn’t be more proud. I am so so grateful to IntoUniversity.' - Angel
