CAREERS POLICY
Introduction
This policy statement sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school for the purpose of giving them information about the providers education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42A and 42B of the Education Act 1997.
Archbishop Beck Catholic College complies with the new legislation – ‘Through the Skills and Post-16 ACT 2022’. The new guidance is detailed in the January 2023 update of (Careers guidance and access for education and training providers) published by the Department for Education.
What this means, is students will have 6 opportunities in Years 8-13 to receive information on alternatives pathways including apprenticeships and technical qualifications.
The information will be delivered in careers lessons, assemblies and by independent training providers who attend our careers fairs.
Outcomes
Our goal at Archbishop Catholic College is to raise aspirations, inspire and encourage pupils to consider a wide range of careers. Through careers education and guidance, our desire is to:
- Inspire and teach our students how they can reach their career goals.
