The workbooks are progressive, relevant to each age group and cover a range of issues to help students to understand more about themselves, find out about careers and the world of work and help them to plan for their future. These sessions are delivered across the year during morning registration. Additionally, one assembly per half term is dedicated to CEIAG to further support our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A map of the learning journey through the careers programme <a href=\"http:\/\/careers.stjulies.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/learning_journey.pdf\">can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CareersBox video shorts shown in form time raise awareness of a number of different career opportunities across a range of sectors.Students and parents \/ carers are made aware of Post 16 pathways and opportunities via our website and newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Year 12 students complete weekly Christian Action placements in the local community and an additional week of Work Experience in July.<br>Students are actively encouraged and supported to undertake work experience opportunities linked to their career paths when opportunities arise.
