Careers Service
"If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else."
Our Careers advisers can help you to plan your career after college and that starts when begin your course. They can help you in the following ways:
- 1 to 1 guidance about choosing a career. This is more in depth than a course enquiry. The careers adviser will talk through your ideas and plans, make suggestions about alternatives and help you to assess yourself against your chosen career pathway. They will give you careers information, help you to research careers information and come up with a plan of action to get to where you want to be. You can also see a careers adviser if you are unsure and want to plan before you choose on your course.
- Careers education activities in your course. Careers Advisers work with students in groups in workshops, lessons and tutorials.
