Careers - Years 7 to 10

For year 7 and 8 we recommend exploring Unifrog.  ANY pupil can request a Careers interview - teachers have an online referral form.

Also, there are tests known as Psychometric Tests that can be used to identify your strengths, aptitudes and unlock your potential. They help you find out about your personality.   Mr Targett explains Psychometric Assessments :

In year 7, students have visits from the DWP who do 'What are My Skills' sessions with all year 7 maths classes during terms 4 to 6.

In year 8, students have visits from the DWP who do 'My Digital Footprint' sessions with all year 8 maths classes during terms 4 to 6.

In year 9 you will be choosing your options for year 10. Look below for your link.

 

Employability Skills

These are many skills that future employers will be looking for. We concentrate on 6 :

• Aiming High
• Communicating (speaking and listening)
• Problem solving
• Teamwork
• Staying positive
• Creativity

 

Do you have any evidence of these skills???
