Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) along with working with employers has a large impact on preparing students for post 16 education and the working world.
Effective careers guidance helps inspire students towards further study and enables them to make informed decisions about the choices that are open to them. It helps them to understand enough about the world of work to know what skills they need to succeed. The best careers guidance helps open student’s eyes to careers they may not have considered and encourage them to aspire to achieve highly.
The Academy provides impartial information, advice and guidance on careers education as well as employability skills that students can use to help them effectively plan for their future. We have a varied and full programme of opportunities that supports our students in making decsions about their future.
This involves a high level of support around higher education, apprenticeships and employment. The aim is to ensure all students secure the places on the right courses at the right level to sustain post-16 destinations and beyond.
