Together with a range of career professionals, businesses and training providers we will support students’ career development in a number of ways including:

  • Information and discussion in lessons and assemblies to help them make decisions about their future.
  • Activities and events such as our 16+ Destinations Evening for Year 11, employability days, mock interviews and careers events for all year groups.
  • Access to careers advice in a variety of ways including one-to-one appointments and drop-in sessions during school time with the opportunity to speak to our Independent Careers Adviser.  
  • Open Door availability of our Careers Lead for any questions or concerns or help with applications.

 

  • As part of our commitment to improving Careers education at Hungerhill, we offer advice and information on:
  • Develop employability, team-working and leadership skills, and develop flexibility and resilience.​​​​
  • Understand financial choices in life and how this can have an impact on self and others.
