Careers Information

The careers guidance and education programme we deliver at The Corbet School is seen as a continuous process from Years 7 to 11.

At The Corbet School we aim to provide good careers guidance which supports the following:

Connecting learning to the future
Motivate pupils by giving them a clearer idea of the routes to jobs and careers that they will find engaging and rewarding
Widening pupils’ horizons, challenge stereotypes and raise aspirations
Providing pupils with the knowledge and skills necessary to make successful transitions to the next stage of their lives
Supporting social mobility by improving opportunities for all pupils, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs and disabilities

To achieve the outcomes, careers guidance and education is delivered using a wide range of avenues:

‘Unifrog’’ – an award winning online careers platform, exploring careers information, routes and links.
Dedicated careers area in the school library
Personal Adviser in school once a week for individual consultations with pupils.
Delivered through dedicated lessons within the PSHE programmes of study
Speakers from a variety of industries
Work Experience placements
