Careers Week
Arcadia High School's Careers Week offers an exceptional opportunity for students in Years 8-10 to explore career paths and gain insightful knowledge about today's industries. Throughout the week, students will visit well-known companies and learn from industry experts, providing them with an immersive experience to enhance their career awareness. This program allows students to develop a deeper understanding of their interests and goals, and make well-informed decisions about their future career paths. In the 2022-23 academic year, our students visited Joe & the Juice, Mall of the Emirates, Mastercard, Borders, and HSBC. During these visits, our students had the privilege of engaging in talks with leadership teams from each company to gain a comprehensive understanding of their day-to-day operations.
I can confidently say that it was a life-changing experience for my daughter. The learning from this trip was truly engaging and enjoyable. The trip was well-organized, planned and relevant to this time. The skills and experiences were shared by the industry experts, which gave them an insight into real-world problems. What I appreciated the most is that the trip was the emphasis on practical application. Not only did the kids gain theoretical knowledge, but they also had ample opportunities to apply what they learned in real-world scenarios. They also enjoyed their scrumptious lunch every day during the trip and had a memorable time at Ski Dubai @MOE. Also got books from Borders as their souvenir. Lots of thanks for organizing such trips and looking forward to more of these.

I want to thank you and Mr Valrani for this. It was a good experience for my son. He talked a little about each, and he found some interesting aspects. The one that he enjoyed the most was Borders. In general, it was such a great initiative and a good way to keep them busy with a purpose for a few hours every day. My suggestion would be to take them next time to hands-on experiences. Another suggestion would be to visit a hospital, a dentist, lawyers, vets, construction companies, radio and tv stations, newspapers, a meteorology centre, well the list could go on and on, the point is to bring them into more and more real-life experiences. Thank you again to all who made this possible.

A very good initiative by Arcadia school and Mr Navin Valrani. A great opportunity for the children to learn and gain knowledge outside of the classroom. The companies they visited are par excellence and we are grateful to the school for giving our child this special opportunity. Thank you, Arcadia.

Thank you for giving my daughter the opportunity to be a part of Careers week. It was such an amazing experience for them, where they had the opportunity to explore the different business opportunities and fields of business. She has learnt a lot and has had the time to reflect on all that she has learnt. Please continue with these career weeks, as they were well received and enjoyed. Thank you!

Thank you for this week. Such a fantastic initiative. And makes a change from the likes of Gems who only do things if there is a revenue involved for them. Teaching children life and business skills. Kieran’s step brother (Lincoln) is so excited to join Arcadia due to your Junior MBA program. He would have loved this week. Thank you so much. I don’t get down to the school much as always working. But a great initiative and I was impressed that Arcadia organized. Thank you.
