CEIAG helps our students develop the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to make successful choices and manage transition into learning and work. Our aim is to work with young people, parents, staff, governors, trust partners and members of the local community to prepare learners to leave school as ‘Caring, ‘Confident’ and ‘Creative’ young people who are able to make the right choices for themselves.
We aim to help young people develop the knowledge and skills they need to make successful choices, manage transition in learning and move into work that suits their interests, skills and strengths. Careers education is provided to all students with extra support provided where appropriate. Every student has access to a one to one careers interview from a qualified Careers Advisor. We work closely with the University of Sussex First Generation Scholars scheme which is designed to support young people in developing their full potential and exploring their future options.
