To develop pupils’ knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to life in a rapidly changing world
Aims of the Careers’ curriculum
国产视频 believes that every student should have opportunities to learn about the world of work, employability skills and the personal qualities that are valued in the workplace in order to increase their self-confidence and raise aspirations. Students can then make informed choices about future careers and develop employability skills.
The Careers’ curriculum promotes equal opportunities and challenges stereotypical thinking and attitudes. It helps students, including disadvantaged students and students with special educational needs to overcome any overt and/or hidden barriers to progress that they may encounter and ensures that all students receive appropriate information and guidance, especially at key decision and transition points.
