Curriculum & Collaboration
Careers is embedded throughout school life.
Students in the Cedar, Aspen and Maple groups also have dedicated time allocated on their timetable for Independence and Employability sessions, in order to introduce them to the world of work as well as develop career awareness and support personal development. Students are working towards their NCFE Level 1 Award or Certificate in Employability Skills.
We work in collaboration with Progress Careers, who provide careers advisors for our young people and offer online personalised sessions for each learner. Progress Careers also provide an innovative careers app, iProgress, which gives students access to an intuitive and agile careers resource which is available 24/7.
Pearson Whiffin will be working with our learners, providing CV writing workshops, in order to discuss with our young people the sorts of things employers look for when shortlisting and recruiting.
