Careers, Apprenticeships, and Post-16 Providers

Our students will develop skills in the three key aspects of careers education & guidance:

In supporting our students to develop these skills we aim to help them navigate their way through an increasingly diverse range of qualifications both academic and vocational and beyond into an ever changing world of work. Students have the opportunity to discuss their career aspirations and the options open to them at key stages of their education and receive both hands-on and distance experience of workplaces, educational establishments and inspirational people from all walks of life.

Careers education & guidance at Miltoncross Academy supports and compliments all aspects of the curriculum ensuring students have the widest possible range of knowledge, skills and attitudes to transfer to the workplace.

Local colleges, universities, training providers and local employers all play an integral role in the programme, giving our students the opportunity to benefit from a range of experiences in and out of school.
