Trinity Solutions Academy Careers Programme 22/23 

Trinity Solutions’ Careers Education Programme provides learners with the skills and knowledge they need to progress into the world of work. It supports making choices, encourages research opportunities and the ability to manage transitions from education into training or employment.  

All students access an external work experience placement as part of their programme to develop practical skills and experience in preparation for the world of work. 

All students have at least 1 session per week of dedicated Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance which includes the development of Labour Market Information (LMI) both locally and nationally with our Employer Engagement Officer Sarah Butler, sarahbutler@tanmat.org, 0191 298 6950 (Option 3). 

Our careers programme is supported by a series of events, activities and experiences listed below but is not exhaustive of what we offer.
