Throughout the year, our Careers Team will run various assemblies and workshops, in partnership with a range of local learning provides and employers, to help keep our students informed on the latest developments in the labour market, the careers available to them and the learning pathways to achieve their ambitions.
Recently we have had an engaging session from Aberystwyth Universty on how to choose university courses, a workshop form the University of Law exploring different legal careers and our Alumni joined us for a Universty vs Apprenticeship assembly, where the benefits and realities of each pathway were shared, with honest, unbiased feedback from our former students helping our students to learn from trusted sources of advice. The feedback for this was strong, with 98% of students saying they found the event useful in giving them a new insight into the pros and cons of both pathways, and 93% saying it had helped them to think carefully about their next steps.
We have many more events planned throughout the year for Year 7 through to Year 13 and occasionally we will have optional sessions that students can sign up for if they have a particular career interest. These will be advertised by tutors in form time.
