 CAREERS EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE

 All students in the school receive formal careers education. An employability programme is delivered to students in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 on a modular basis. Further careers guidance is given to Year 10 and Year 12 students to assist them in selecting subjects for GCSE and AS/ A Level. Special attention is given to Careers Education in Years 11 and 12 as part of the Learning for Life and Work Programme. Year 12 students also receive one-to-one guidance from the Northern Ireland Careers Service and can discuss their own particular queries or concerns with the Careers staff in the school.

Students in Years 13 and 14 have a formal careers class every week which allows them to work through the process of selecting university courses and making their UCAS and CAO applications. All year 13 students will also undertake Work Experience and further opportunities for work experience can be arranged for Year 14 students if required. A range of career activities is organised for Sixth Form students, including lectures by Admissions Tutors from universities throughout the UK and Ireland. A Careers Fair will be held for Year 14 students on Friday 3rd September where they will be able to speak to undergraduates and professionals from a wide range of career areas. Mock interviews will also be arranged for all students called to interviews for their chosen courses.
Each Sixth Form student will be assigned to a specific Careers Teacher within the school who will discuss their particular educational and vocational choices on a one-to-one basis. All pupils and parents are encouraged to discuss any Career issues or concerns they or their son have with a member of the school’s Careers Department.
