Careers Events

We work closely with our partners (Further Education, Higher Education and apprenticeship providers and employers) to provide a range of bespoke face-to-face and virtual careers events to enhance our students CEIAG provision.

Activities are reviewed annually to ensure they reflect the changing labour market and local employment priorities.

Students experience a progressive programme of workplace encounters throughout Years 7–11 including employer visits, workplace visits, employer-led projects and block work experience in Year 10.

Assemblies 

Alongside the planned timetable of activities, careers-related assemblies take place throughout the year during Tutor Time, with additional options assemblies delivered to Year 9 by subject leaders.    
 

Tutor Time Activities  

Through Years 7 to 10, students will have structured tutor time sessions focusing on key literacy skills. During these sessions, students receive regular Labour Market Information (LMI), enabling them to understand local, regional and national employment trends, growth sectors, future skills needs and emerging career opportunities.

The Careers Programme reflects local and national skills priorities and introduces students to opportunities within growth sectors including health and social care, engineering, manufacturing, digital and creative industries, construction, clean energy, logistics and professional services. Students are encouraged to consider both academic and technical pathways throughout their education.
