Students in every year group receive careers information and advice via a blended approach 

We work with our Enterprise Adviser, Sharon Howes [Director of People Services at the Martlets Hospice] to identify ways of tailoring our provision to the needs of employers and other providers.

We want students to gain an understanding of the world of work and take inspiration from a rich variety of live and online encounters. These include:

• the delivery of PSHE sessions exploring: self-awareness, progression pathways, factors affecting career choice, the labour market and career management skills

• virtual and curriculum-led sessions with speakers from or visits relating to the world of work

• virtual work experience opportunities for students in Years 10 and 11

• the offer of an experience of the workplace to post-16 students

• the Moving On Day and Taster Day

• Virtual and face to face Careers Fairs – where employers, training providers, universities and other external speakers broaden and challenge the outlook of our students, exposing them to a range of exciting and stimulating opportunities

• career and employment notices, links to useful career websites made accessible via Google Classroom

• embedding careers information and guidance into the curriculum

In addition to the advice and support offered by school staff at key decision-making points, our students also have access to an independent, CDI Registered Careers Adviser, Amanda Carroll, who is based in the College every Tuesday – offering both a drop-in session and booked appointments.
