National Careers Week
Empowering Pupils through Careers Education
National Careers Week is a whole school focus linking education with the world of employment to ensure pupils get an important insight to the future of work and further learning. This week St Mary’s pupils will gain a valuable insight in to the world of work, career journeys and destinations. They will understand how each subject studied in school relates to different occupations and they will look at skills and qualities required for each. At St Mary’s we agree that better informed pupils result in greater confidence and better decision making.
To further support National Careers week https://nationalcareersweek.com/ we have our subject by subject careers directory and the Parents Guide to National Careers Week. Please see below for access to these documents.
