Our Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) at QE consists of a number of elements outlined below.
Our Personal Development Programme, contains CEIAG sessions. From Year 7, students are guided through careers information and advice, as well as labour market Information. They are guided on how to search for work experience placements, write letters of application, develop CVs and how to analyse skills and qualifications associated with particular careers.
We also provide independent careers advice to students. In Year 10 all students are invited to an individual careers interview. Students can also apply for additional careers interviews in any year group by request.
We arrange visits to national careers events that allow students to talk directly to and make initial contact with industry representatives. We normally take approximately 80 students from Year 9-13 on each trip, on a first come first serve basis. These trips normally have a focus on one of the following areas of interest: Higher education, General Employment and Apprenticeships.
Students are provided with a week-long work experience both in Year 10 and 12. Students are provided with support, advice, guidance and strategies by their tutors. This helps students to make the most out of the learning experience, from seeking, to gaining and successfully managing the employment placement.
