Careers Education, Advice & Guidance

Aims and Objectives

The school places great value on an education which prepares pupils for the challenges of their future lives. It recognises that in a world of rapidly changing opportunities pupils need to be able to identify their unique abilities and personal qualities and should possess skills which enable them to access both high quality information and experience of the world of work in order to manage their aspirations with confidence.

The aim of CEIAG is to provide pupils with an environment in which they are able to make confident and informed career and higher education choices based on realistically high aspirations and a growing awareness of themselves.

CEIAG at Haberdashers’ seeks to be appropriate to the learning environment of the School by accentuating the positive side of a high level of personal attainment and ambition through the following objectives:

• Foster self-evaluation to enable pupils to learn about themselves; their interests, abilities, personal qualities, and what influences their decisions. • Encourage career exploration by providing quality and up to date information about, and experience of, the world of learning and the world of work, and thus confidence in decisions made. • Promote career management by asking pupils to take responsibility for their own career decisions and encourage realistic and flexible individual higher education and career paths. • Prepare pupils to manage change and transition in a fast-moving world through their own sense of initiative and enterprise, seizing new opportunities and managing unexpected change with success.
