Careers Programme

Vision

Oaklands School believes that every child should be helped to make the right choices for their progression, in order to achieve their personal best. Our vision for careers guidance is that all learners need a planned programme of activities to help them choose pathways that are right for them and to be able to manage their careers, sustain employability and achieve personal and economic well-being throughout their lives.

We endeavour to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to investigate and enter their chosen professions. By assisting students with decisions at key stages in their school life, providing information about options and introducing them to the world of work, we aim to prepare them for their chosen career.

Specific aims of CEIAG at Oaklands are;

to raise students’ aspirations and broaden their horizons,
to provide advice and guidance which empowers students to make informed decisions at key transition points,
to provide good quality and impartial careers advice that helps students on their journey,
to provide opportunities for students to experience workplaces and encounter employers and employees,
to increase knowledge and skills needed to assist students with their journey,
to support individuals and promote equality of opportunity.
