Student Enquiries
Student Enquiries
Remember ...
It is not expected that you offer 1:1 careers guidance yourself, the expectation is that you are able to signpost the student to the correct resource.
In-person
If you are dealing with a student careers enquiry and the student is with you, then you can do one of three things:
if there is time you could look on the Staff section of Careers Central to see if you can help the student find the right resource.
if not, and it is appropriate to do so, you can show the student where to find the information themselves by showing them the Student section of Careers Central.
Sometimes a careers enquiry can't be dealt by providing information or by sign-posting to a careers resource, and the student needs a 1:1 careers guidance appointment.
To refer a student for 1:1 careers guidance please don't phone or email, but instead use the referral form on the staff page of Careers Central. This provides the careers coach with important information about the student that is crucial to providing high quality careers guidance.
To do this click on the Refer a Student button which will take you through the referral process.
By phone, email or social media
You can direct them to the careers page on the Petroc website.
Parent Enquiry
Parent Enquiry
Enquiries from student's parents can be dealt with in the following ways:
Course information - if their query is quite technical such as timetabling, expected grades, absences, qualifications etc; then they should be directed to the course teacher.
Course enquiries - if the parent wants to know about the range of courses Petroc has to offer, they should be sign-posted to the Advice and Guidance Team.
Course withdrawal - in the first instance this should be directed to the course teacher. If the parent wants to know what options their young person has, they can be referred for a careers guidance appointment.
Career planning - if the parent wants to support their young person with the career planning once their course has completed, they can be directed to the careers page on Petroc's website.
Options - if they are interested in finding out about their options for their young person once they have finished their course, they should be directed to the careers page on Petroc's website.
School Pupil Enquiry
School Pupil Enquiry
Enquiries from pupil's at local Devon schools, or even schools from out of area, can be dealt with in the following ways:
Course information - if the pupil is looking for course information such as entry requirements or course details, they can be directed to the Advice and Guidance Centre.
Decision Making - if the pupil is unsure of which course to choose, or wants to know which course to take to fulfil their career ambition then they can be referred for careers guidance by directing them to the careers page on Petroc's website.
