Sixth Form Career Support
Post 16 pupils receive one to one guidance and support throughout the time on their chosen study programme. This allows pupils to fully explore, all pathways prior to completion of their course. These include university, higher apprenticeship and employment opportunities.
Pupils in all years, and students in the Sixth Form, receive high-quality careers information and guidance.Ofsted 2018
Good quality careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) connects learning to the future, and it has never been more important and relevant for young people than it is today. Careers is the engine to social mobility, aspiration and achievement. Young people are motivated when they know what they want to achieve in their lives and how to go about it. Good careers guidance pushes the boundaries of opportunity, challenges stereotypes, raises aspiration and provides young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to make well-informed decisions and successful transitions to the next stage of their lives.
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG)
At Chase High we are committed to providing good quality careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) and work-related learning (WRL) for all students in years 12 to 14. We measure ourselves using the Gatsby Benchmarks which is a Careers Bench Mark Tool implemented by the DFS. The eight benchmarks provide us with a framework that helps us to identify our strengths and areas that we can develop.
The careers programme combines career planning lessons, skills workshops, one-to-one independent careers guidance, mentoring, online career information resources and a wide range of events and activities, including: sector career talks, employer visits, careers fair, inspirational speakers, enterprise activities, career advice evenings and work experience.
