CEIAG

Pupils from any year group who would like to discuss their career and learning pathways can make an appointment with a school careers teacher or a Careers service Ni adviser by calling into one of the careers resource rooms or by booking a careers appointment directly with Mr Dempster or Mrs Ferguson.

Teaching staff can also refer individual pupils at times when it is felt that they will particularly benefit from one-to-one careers advice. Parents are very welcome to attend appointments or to contact the Careers department.

All Yr10 and Yr12 pupils will have at least one careers appointment to explore a variety of education and career options and draw up an individual careers action plan to help them make a successful transition to GCSE and Post-16 learning.

Sixth form pupils are welcome to use the Careers Resource rooms and arrange individual guidance appointments during their free periods with prior permission from their Head year or Mr Downey and Mr Connolly (Study Supervisors). Pupils can also have follow-up appointments as necessary.

All pupils are also directed to the National Careers Service where they can access independent on-line and telephone guidance from a National Careers Service adviser. This free service is available daily from 8am-10pm. There is also extensive information and advice on choosing subjects, exploring career ideas, case studies and frequently asked questions on the Young People section of the National Careers Service website (https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/campaigns/careers).
