Progression planning is undertaken throughout the students’ college journey, but a particular focus is given to this in Year 13 and Year 14. The careers team and classroom-based staff will work collaboratively to review students' goals and aspirations.

Students in Year 13 will work on their Vocational Profiles with our expert Job Coaches to establish suitability for our year 14 pathways.

The careers team is always on hand to support students looking for paid work; they are happy to support with CV generation, job applications, and interview preparation.

Throughout a young person’s time at college, there are opportunities to attend meaningful encounters with other providers. Students are also encouraged to participate in local careers and job fairs. Students are also given opportunities to engage in workshops and experiences to prepare them for working life. Examples include:   

• All year groups are invited to attend the SEND Forward transition events. 
• In year 13/14 students are invited to visit FE providers such as Colchester Institute, ACL, and Suffolk Rural.
• Other opportunities such as Accessible Apprenticeships are explored. 
• Workshops with Rose Construction.
• Talk The Talk – Talk About the Future Workshop.

In their Year 14 Annual Review, students will have the opportunity to meet with a level 6 qualified careers advisor who provides impartial information, advice, and guidance regarding appropriate options and next steps. 

As always, if you have any further questions or need support, please contact the careers team:
