Careers

The government recognises that it is essential to learn about career pathways and the world of work as well as to develop employability skills alongside the academic curriculum.  Our Careers Education programme provides students with information, advice and guidance throughout their time with us to ensure they are equipped to make appropriate decisions about their career pathway.  Every student has a one-to-one meeting with our qualified careers advisor during their time with us to help them make the best choices for them.

At KHSS we are committed to continually developing our programme to ensure we provide the best opportunities for our students.  We welcome contact from employers, further and higher education institutions and training providers to work with us to build on the range of opportunities we can provide for our students to engage in the world of work. 

Our activities are linked to the 8 essential employability skills, 6 CDI Learning areas and the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks of quality careers guidance.

Careers Plan

Please see below our comprehensive careers plan, during these sessions, at a minimum, providers are given enough time to:

  • Share information about their organisation and the approved technical qualifications and apprenticeships they offer.
  •  Explain what career routes these qualifications and apprenticeships could lead to.
  •  Provide insights into what it might be like to learn or train with that provider.
  •  Answer pupils’ questions.
