At County we are committed to providing a Careers Education programme that is suitable for all students from years 7-13 that is integrated and aspirational and prepares them for life after secondary education. We provide advice and guidance to all students through specially organised activities and both our curriculums.
Careers guidance focuses on the specific needs of the individual student to promote self-awareness and personal development. We also aim to provide current and relevant information to enable each student to make informed decisions about their future. This advice is impartial and covers all the options students will face as they move beyond our walls.
We aim to help our students:
- Develop a confidence in their future.
- Gain key skills for careers.
- Obtain knowledge of the range of opportunities open to them.
- Shatter stereotypes of the different careers and paths open to them.
- Enhance aspiration for their future.
