Gordon's Careers Week 2025: 13th - 17th October
An event to raise the profile of the careers education, information, advice and guidance programme at Gordon's for both students and parents, seeking to promote all pathways to ensure students understand the range of opportunities available to them post 16 and post 18 and how those opportunities might shape their future.
We are delighted to welcome speakers and alumni from industry and education and are fortunate to be supported by colleagues at Activate Learning.
The event will also see the launch of UNIFROG to our new Year 7 cohort and embed the platform further for all our students. More information about the platform can be found on our partners page.
Parents of Year 10 and Year 12 students are invited to attend the following information evenings covering future options and the work experience programme planned for July 2025 and can sign up via the links below:
Post 16 Options and Work experience information evening - Monday 13th October, 6:15pm - 7pm
Post 18 Options and Work experience information evening - Tuesday 14th October, 6:15pm - 7pm
1:1 Career Guidance Interviews for Year 10 and Year 12
All students in Years 10 and 12 benefit from personal 1:1 guidance with a qualified impartial careers adviser in order to provide support tailored to their needs and abilities. These are delivered when significant choices are being considered by students. Career conversations are an ongoing part of a student's school experience and personal guidance is an integrated part of the overall careers programme.
Careers guidance interviews are delivered by INNERVATE, an outstanding careers service provider, and every student is provided with a bespoke action plan via UNIFROG which includes recommendations for next steps and information about their chosen career path. Students can use this as the basis for further research.
The resources below can be used to support a student's preparation for interview.
