Careers
What is Careers Education?
“It’s about young people finding purpose, discovering what matters to them, their place in the world, the point of studying and getting up in the morning. Sometimes people think careers is just information about options and planning for the future. It’s so much more. It can give hope, meaning, purpose, self-esteem and the ability to navigate the challenges of life.”
- Liane Hambly

All learners 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.
