Career Planning

The best way to achieve a successful and enjoyable career is by research and planning. We all have the chance to choose what we want to do for the rest of our lives. Use this section of the website to help plan your career and future.

Career planning is what you do when you’re thinking about a new career or you’d like to progress in the career you are in. You might be wanting to make a complete change or just improve where you are at the moment. Planning needs time, as there are several things to consider. When you are planning, you need to think about:

  • What you can do already?
  • What you’d like to do next?
  • What else you need to learn?

In Year 11, you will have an individual Career Guidance Interview with Mrs Stevenson. Together you will create an electronic action plan which will be shared with you, your parents, your form tutor and the pastoral team. Career Action planning involves setting targets for yourself and deciding how you will achieve them. It involves making decisions and planning your future. You need to become focused and think about what sort of work you want to do and will be able to do. An action plan will help you to:

  • Take a step-by-step approach to plan for your future
  • Take responsibility for your future
  • Develop useful skills, like making decisions
  • Think about and assess yourself
  • Make a record of your achievements
  • Apply for jobs, courses or further education
  • Recognise your achievements
