Why is Careers Education important?
The decisions that you, as young people, make at school have a big impact on your lives – affecting not just your further education, training or employment, but also your social lives, finances and health outcomes.
A key function of secondary schools is to prepare students to transition successfully toward a future career path. At The South Wolds Academy, we provide curriculum opportunities to build students’ general capabilities, support students’ interests and aspirations, and support them to make informed decisions about their subject choices and pathways.
Research shows that students are more engaged in education and highly motivated about their future when they have a clear understanding of themselves and how they might live and work when they leave school.
