Chatting careers with cadets

Chilled Education is not only about schools, the team are also happy to talk to any groups of young people who are thinking about their careers. CEd’s Charlotte Patrick was invited to talk about chilled food opportunities by Cadet Force in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. The organisers were delighted with the event and sent some very positive feedback. Writing on behalf of HM Lord-Lieutenant, James Saunders Watson, said that CEd’s “presence and efforts made it a great success” thanking CEd for “the time, outstanding effort and commitment you have shown to our cadets.”

Charlotte added: “This was one of the best events I have been to so far. I talked to many inspiring Cadets about future careers and saw the qualities that being a Cadet instils in them. They were superb ambassadors with confidence and professionalism and enthusiastic demonstrators. We use food to show scientific principles and they were especially good at demonstrating the effect of gas pressure on marshmallows!”

CEd is offering online presentations for schools and groups on food science and careers in the industry. It is happy to take requests and enquiries sent to: education@chilledfood.org
