Labour Market Information
Whilst it may seem like a long way into the future, it is useful for students to have an awareness of local labour market information when making option choices and considering which courses to study.
Certain qualifications such as English, Maths and Science remain the passport to many career paths and are inherently valuable. Our curriculum offer allows a broad range of choices from within the social sciences, humanities, languages, technology, PE and creative arts faculties and it is worth considering how these different subjects will help open up a variety of different career paths in the future.
Did You Know?
Plymouth City Council have identified 6 key sectors of job growth and creation; Manufacturing, Business Service, Creative, Marine, Medical and Tourism and Leisure sector
Nationally engineering and business sectors are huge employment growth areas which reflect an ageing workforce and changing demographics. A huge range of jobs can be found within those sectors.
Hospitality, leisure and tourism are hugely important sectors within the South West given its importance as an internal and international holiday destination.
The average UK worker now holds 10 different jobs before the age of 40, and that forecast is expected to grow.
These facts and the information covered in this website are just designed to give food for thought. The main thing is for students, and parents and carers to really think about the mix of option subjects that are being considered. Keeping your options open at this stage, and making choices based on your academic achievement, and interest and enjoyment in a subject is the best recommendation.Â
