Career Support
Post 16 students receive one-to-one guidance and support throughout the time of their chosen study programme. This allows students to fully explore all pathways prior to completion of their course. These include university, higher apprenticeship and employment opportunities.
"Pupils benefit from a well-considered programme of careers education. This includes providing pupils in Year 8 to 13 with impartial advice about approved technical qualifications and apprenticeships"

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 School, we are committed to providing good quality careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) and work-related learning (WRL) for all students in Year Groups 12, 13 and 14. We measure ourselves using the Gatsby Benchmarks which is a Careers Benchmark Tool implemented by the DfE. 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.
