Careers Education
The Careers department provides information, advice and guidance to students across all year groups. We provide targeted support to students in Year 9 with choosing their Options, and to students in Year 11 with Post-16 pathways.
As well as offering one to one careers interviews to students, we also have an extensive careers library stocked with a range of resources providing a wealth of careers information.
Throughout the academic year, we organise and coordinate a number of educational visits, talks and activities.
The Careers and Work Related Learning lead is John Naismith (john.naismith@tta.org.uk)
We aim to:
-
expand students’ knowledge of jobs, careers and pathways available
-
raise the aspirations of our students
-
empower students to make informed choices about their future
-
challenge any stereotypes related to specific jobs or career paths
-
provide opportunities that students may not otherwise experience or have
