Across our varied curriculum, students will have the opportunity to participate in activities that use the context of work to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding that will be useful in any future workplace. Furthermore, subject teachers will inform students about how learning in the classroom relates to the world of work and future careers.

The programme includes:

• Information, advice and guidance on careers from a variety of speakers, organisations and providers
• Visits to local colleges & universities
