Careers Programme 

Careers Programme for Years 7-11

Our Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance programme (CEIAG) is delivered in many ways. These include:

• CEIAG-based lessons are delivered through our revised Personal Development programme (more specific details about this can be found in the relevant section of this website). All sessions are age and stage specific, and are arranged to support self-awareness, career exploration and support pupils as they plan for their own future.  
• Employer encounters, enabling students to hear from a variety of employers, and to ask them questions about the world of work, are available to pupils in all year groups. 
• Access to further free online resources to help with careers research, which can be accessed from home or school. Parents and carers are asked to support children in exploring these and talking to them about the world of work. Relevant resources will be promoted to Year 10 and 11 students at key times, e.g. in STEM Careers Week, Apprenticeship Week and FE Choices Week. 
• Bespoke careers-based tasks, including Apprenticeships talks (Year 10 upwards), enabling students to hear opportunities for apprenticeships and again to have their questions answered. 
• Options programme (Year 9), to help students select suitable GCSEs (or equivalent) to match future career ambitions.
• Post 16 transition programme evening (Year 11), to help pupils with their future choices.
• Careers interviews with Stockport’s Careers Advisor (Year 11), to help pupils firm up their career plans/post-16 education. 
• Subject staff members are asked to make links as appropriate between what they are teaching, and how the knowledge and, more particularly, the skills acquired relate to a variety of careers. 
• Our variety of extracurricular clubs and activities are open to all (please see Harrytown Extra for specific details)
