The new Careers Statutory Guidance (published Jan 2018) outlined that all schools must ensure that pupils are provided with independent careers guidance from year 8 to year 13. They will be held accountable for the career success of their pupils by ensuring that “data on student destinations (will be) widely available and easily understandable by people of all ages.”
Careers Guidance in Schools
At CareersInc, we go beyond the minimum standards. We work in partnership with our schools and academies to provide outstanding careers guidance services for students and their key influencers. Feedback from our latest round of contract reviews in February 2018 includes:
“..Pleased with the progress of CareersInc. Parents, students and staff are more aware of provisions, aspirations and pathways.”
“Both advisers are a real asset to the school. From developing excellent relationships with students to providing personalised advice. The advisers support the students in developing careers across the school.”
“I feel our relationship with Careersinc is much strengthened this year. Working through the Quality Award process and being supported by the CareersInc consultants has increased our confidence in CEIAG! We have a good working relationship with our current advisers.”
“I feel the academy is totally supported by Careersinc. I feel I can approach Careersinc with questions and also seek suggestions.”
“Thorough completion of all data required.”
The Benefits of Working with CareersInc
We’re local to South Yorkshire, however we also work in the North East, Yorkshire, Humber and East Midlands. We know the areas, the industries, the employers, the schools and, in many cases, the students.
Students benefit from our outstanding careers information, advice and guidance. So, they come to employers (whether for work-related activities or employment) as well-informed and motivated young people.
All our associate advisers hold relevant DBS checks and are also fully insured (including professional indemnity).
