Information for Teachers and Staff
Staff play a central role in the Careers education and learning that our students experience. Staff contribute effectively through:
- Careers-focused conversations at relevant points in student learning
- Referring to the skills and attributes that students are developing to help students understand how they are relevant to the workplace
- Encouraging students to challenge stereotypes and seek opportunities that are suited to their own needs, interests and aspirations
- Delivering high-impact learning through our Personal and Careers Development Curriculum
- Delivering careers-based activities through the weekly tutor programme
- Signposting students to the Careers Team when suitable and making referrals to the Careers Advisor
- Supporting students in understanding how their interests link to subject choices and career opportunities
- Support students in their applications for post-16 and 18 next steps
Staff should refer to the resources below to guide them with signposting and supporting students:
Unifrog – students and staff have their own log in for the Unifrog platform, which enables students to create their own careers learning and preparation journey. Tutors and subject staff can utilise its resources to support students with refining their interests, learning about different industries and job sectors as well as giving feedback on students’ CVs and personal statements.
iCould – a useful resource to find labour market information on a wide range of jobs and careers
