Gordon's Careers Week - 14th - 18th October 2024
An event to raise the profile of the careers education, information, advice and guidance programme at Gordon's, particularly amongst the students, and seek to ensure they understand what opportunities are available to them as they progress through school and how those opportunities will support their aspirations for the future.
We are delighted to welcome speakers and alumni from industry and education and are fortunate to be supported by colleagues at ALPS and 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 2024 and can sign up via the links below:
Year 12 Parents information evening - Monday 14th October 2024, 6:15pm - 7pm
Year 10 Parents information evening - Wednesday 16th October 2024, 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.
