Careers

Introduction

Welcome to Corpus Christi Catholic College Careers. On this page you will find a range of information to support your child on their journey through Corpus Christi Catholic College and towards the wider world of work, further and higher education.

Quality careers education is a very important part of what is offered here at Corpus Christi Catholic College to raise aspiration and allow our students to make suitable choices for their future career. The Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) we provide helps young people to develop the knowledge, confidence and skills that they need to make well informed, carefully considered choices and plans that enable them to progress smoothly into further learning and work, and to help them manage their careers and sustain employability throughout their lives.

Through our progressive careers programme, students are encouraged to make the most of their talents and to move on to education or training that suits their individual needs and preferences. We offer a variety of trips, workshops, assemblies and guest speakers to raise aspirations for all year groups throughout the academic year alongside our annual careers fair. We encourage students to consider a wide range of careers, challenge stereotypes and explore the links between careers and their classroom learning.

Our careers provision aims to;
  • Provide a planned programme of careers education, information, advice and guidance for students of all ages based on the Gatsby Benchmarks as recommended in the DfE’s Careers Strategy (December 2017), the Statutory Guidance for Careers (January 2018) and Skills for Jobs (January 2021).
  • Provide progressive and integrated delivery through the whole school curriculum of careers and future skills that incorporates the CDI framework.
  • Give access to independent and impartial information on opportunities in education, training and labour market information.
  • Give individualised and impartial careers guidance and support.
  • Provide experience of the workplace to develop key employability skills.
  • Identify and reduce the likelihood, through a variety of interventions, of students becoming NEET (not in employment, education or training) when they leave us.
  • Ensure students have interactions with a variety of colleges, training providers, employers and universities in order to make informed decisions.
