Upper 3 & Lower 4

In this section:

The emphasis for these Year groups is on widening awareness of all the possible career areas available in the world of work, and how society is required to fill a very wide range of jobs in order to function effectively, and to ensure that it continues to evolve and develop. Skills and traits are examined to begin the process of analysing personal aptitudes and interests.

This is delivered through:

  • Careers lessons
  • Involvement in National Careers Week activities
