WHAT PAST ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT THESE CAREERS WORKSHOPS
Our workshops are aimed at 13 - 19 years olds and their parents. We encourage parents to join in and if that isn't possible at least be in the room so you can listen to the advice being given.
The GCSE choices workshop was so informative and answered all my questions about supporting my child with their GCSE choices. I appreciated having somewhere to go as the school didn't offer information like this for the parents.

"I like how it helped me to think about what I could do with the subjects I liked. I didn't know about all the future choices I had and I feel better about choosing GCSEs that I will help me choose a career without narrowing my options.

I had no idea that school careers advice could be so complex and don't get me started on the information that I didn't know existed either! I am so pleased I signed up for a careers appointment as my son now has a detailed plan of what to aim for next.
