St Mary’s alumnus returns to represent aerospace manufacturer

The St Mary’s Catholic College 2023 careers fair was one to remember, for students and staff alike.
With a huge number of well-known exhibitors in attendance, young people had the invaluable opportunity to engage with an array of representatives and find out more about potential career pathways.
The event, which runs annually, is a vital part of St Mary’s’ ongoing programme designed to inform students about the opportunities available to them and provide a platform where they can connect with educators and organisations.
Present on behalf of Airbus, the largest aeronautics space company in Europe, was alumnus Callum McDowell.
After completing his A-levels at St Mary’s in 2019, Callum progressed to university to pursue an engineering degree apprenticeship, graduating in 2022. He now works in Broughton as part of the Airbus team.
Many of the St Mary’s staff were taken by surprise when running into Callum at the careers fair, particularly history teacher Mr Smith, who was delighted to reunite with a former student.
Callum expressed his genuine appreciation for Mr Smith’s teaching style, and the empathetic approach that he takes, also noting that he now takes this same approach when collaborating with his colleagues.
