Services consist of:

• Monthly careers lunchtime sessions on topics such as CVs, applying to College etc.

• One to one career coaching for those who need it. Pupils are identified by guidance staff.

• Delivery of careers groupwork in PSE and Skills for Learning, Life and Work classes. These sessions are aimed at developing pupils’ career management skills.

• Attendance at parents' evenings for senior pupils and at Options Evenings.

• The My World of Work website which provides information for pupils, parents/carers and teachers.

The Careers Advisor will also meet with all S2 pupils on a 1:1 basis prior to subject choice. Parents/carers can attend these meetings and an invitation will be extended nearer the time.
