A structured careers programme
Careers interviews with an independent careers advisor
Supported access to specialised career websites
Regular employer visits to school
Offsite trips to local businesses, colleges, universities
Career focussed assemblies and PSHE sessions
Up to date information through the Careers Hub, notice boards and the Ammonite
