Careers Vision: That every learner has the most appropriate advice and opportunities to make the correct informed choices for their futures.
Message from Mrs Bown
Its really important to set ourselves goals and plan for the future. At times like this it can be hard to motivate ourselves and work towards the next step in our careers and learning journey. Below are some practical ways to keep you motivated and on top of your game when it comes to preparing for the future. Take a look and see what you can do to learn more about a career you maybe interested in or find out more about yourself and what careers would suit you. There are also online courses/activities to enhance your employability skills and make you stand out from the crowd.
Year 9 and above you should have signed up to the following website in your life skills lessons. Younger students please sign up using our school email address and start exploring. There are some great quizzes you can do to see which career would suit you and a search tool so you can find out more (such as working hours, pay etc) about almost any job in the country
