Careers
Education Links provides a robust and innovative careers programme specifically designed to inspire, inform, advise and guide our young people. It is common for most schools to have a seasonal careers adviser who comes in to conduct interviews usually to year 11’s when applications for colleges, training or employment are due.
- As Education Links is more than just a school, we provide a dedicated careers adviser who is available at all times during the entire academic year for all ages. Our careers adviser is a teacher who delivers career related qualifications to the whole school.
- This means all young people from year 7 to 11 have compulsory Careers lessons as part of their curriculum. This allows the pupils at Education Links to bond and create a rapport with the dedicated careers adviser and are constantly reminded of their set goals and aspirations.
- Regular visits from guest speakers, corporate volunteers and charities inspire young people to think creatively about their future.
