Transcription

1 1 Task 1: Careers Assistance Service (CAS) The Careers Assistance Service (CAS) offers guidance to school pupils about education and job opportunities available after leaving school. Every year, CAS holds a careers convention that includes a range of presentations with guest speakers, information exhibits hosted by universities, colleges, employers and trade organisations as well as information about funding options and scholarships. CAS wants to store details about the schools and the student delegates in a relational database. This will make it easy to retrieve information about delegates attending the convention and answer questions like How many boys are attending the convention? CAS has designed the tables required for the database.
