Careers Programme
Our CEIAG programme ensures that every student has access to valuable information about the career and labour market, helping them make informed decisions about their future.
We link classroom learning to real-world careers, offering students a variety of encounters with employers, employees, and the workplace. These experiences help students explore potential career paths and gain insights into the skills and knowledge required in different industries.
Additionally, our programme includes opportunities for students to engage with further and higher education, providing them with a broader understanding of their options. Each student is also given the chance to receive personal guidance tailored to their career ambitions.
To measure the impact of our CEIAG programme, we conduct an annual student survey and analyse destinations data to evaluate the success of the activities and support provided. Feedback from students, staff, employers, and parents is also gathered.
We are a member of the Careers & Enterprise Company Hull & East Yorkshire Careers HUB and work closely with them to continually improve our careers education provision. We regularly review and update our CEIAG programme, considering the needs and views of our pupils, as well as guidance from the Government and local industry partners. These updates ensure out programme remains relevant and effective in preparing students for the opportunities ahead.
