Careers and Progression
CAREERS AND PROGRESSION PROGRESSION
The College takes comprehensive careers guidance very seriously. There is a wellresourced Careers Centre with staff on hand to help students carry out research and offer advice on making the right choices. Students are encouraged to think about their future from the moment they enrol to the point that they leave College.
Planning for university or employment is seen as crucial for each student and the College aims to give individual advice to help each student develop their chosen career path. This may involve helping to organise work experience or encouraging students to pursue individual interests and develop skills that will make them more marketable in a competitive environment.
The comprehensive Enrichment Programme is in place to ensure each student has the opportunity to appear as attractive and marketable as possible.
University and Higher Education
Students will benefit from the excellent links Coulsdon Sixth Form College has with the business community and leading universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, plus colleges offering specialist further education such as Croydon College.
Career events are staged throughout the year, including talks on a range of career opportunities and a careers fair attended by universities, employers and gap year organisations. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the Guest Speaker Programme, where representatives from employers and universities come in to talk about a range of subjects linked to future opportunities.
University course choices
Trying to decide which courses to study at university and where to go can be difficult.
