WHAT IS CAREERS EDUCATION, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE (CEIAG)?
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance programmes make a major contribution in preparing young people for opportunities, responsibilities and experience of life. They help young people make decisions and manage transitions as learners and workers. It is vital that all 11-16 year olds have the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices. We strive at all times to conform to the current “best practices” in Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance laid down by the government.
Careers Education, information and Guidance (CEIAG) education here at Warden Park helps young people develop the knowledge and skills they need to make successful choices, manage transition in learning and move into work. It is now statutory from year 7, and in partnership with outside agencies (colleges, 6th forms, apprenticeship providers and universities) we aim to raise aspirations, challenge stereotypes and encourage all pupils to consider a wide range of careers.
Learners at Warden Park are entitled to receive a full programme of careers education which is delivered through lessons, activities and events and guest speakers. In addition, every learner has access to a fully qualified Personal Advisor for impartial advice and guidance regarding their future choices and decisions.
All learners at Warden Park will develop the following skills:
- Understand yourself, your interests, likes and dislikes, your strength and weaker areas, as all of this affects the choices you make.
- Find out about different courses and the range of further education providers in our area
- Become informed as to the careers opportunities available, qualifications required and potential routes in.
- Develop the skills you may need for working life
- Make realistic, but ambitious choices about courses and jobs.
- Be able to make effective applications for jobs, apprenticeships, training and further education.
- Develop your interview skills
- Improve your confidence.
We have created a Careers portal for students to access which is full of information with regard to colleges, course options, apprenticeships, work experience, careers and local events.
