Parent intro to

HOW WE SUPPORT STUDENTS CAREER PLANNING AND

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR CHILD’S CAREER PLANNING IN THE HOME

WHAT WERE YOUR EXPERIENCES OF CAREERS ADVICE?

Most people tell me negative experiences about careers advice or lack of careers advice they have

received.

OLD FASHIONED

• CAREERS ADVISOR WOULD DECIDE IN 20 MINUTES WHAT A STUDENT WAS GOING TO DO

WITH THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

• CAREERS ADVICE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS DONE TO YOU, NOT SOMETHING YOU TOOK PART

IN

• LIMITS PLACED ON STUDENTS

OUR MODERN APPROACH

• WHOLE SCHOOL APPROACH

• WEB BASED CONTENT

• EMBEDDED IN ALL SUBJECTS

• STUDENTS ARRIVE AT THE DECISION WELL INFORMED

• STUDENTS ENCOURAGED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR OWN LIFE

• SELF REFLECTION IS ENCOURAGED FROM YEAR 7

Some of the career events we do at Grace• CV Workshops

• Personal statement writing

• Mock interviews

• Assessment centres

• Meeting with Business partners

• Insight into industry days

• Work Experience

• Trips to Universities

• Apprenticeship roadshows

• Public speaking TED Talk club

We aim to bring all the quality information available on the internet directly to the palm of your hand

This is how students prefer to receive information. Media rich and online.

Start is FREE for parents and available on all Smartphones.

We keep TRACK so we can plan events that are meaningful to the students.
