Workplace Experiences
Students take part in meaningful experiences of the workplace, including work experience placements, employer workshops and industry talks. These experiences help students build confidence, understand workplace expectations and develop key employability skills.

Enterprise and Skills Challenges
Students take part in enterprise activities and business challenges where they develop teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills.

Careers Guidance and Interviews
Students receive guidance from qualified careers advisers at key points in their education, helping them reflect on their strengths and make informed decisions about subject choices, post-16 options and future pathways.

University and Further Education Engagement
Students have opportunities to visit universities, attend open days and explore higher education routes, as well as learning about apprenticeships, technical qualifications and vocational pathways.
