Welcome to the first Careers e-mag for 2020. Clearly, we are living through challenging times as we do our best to manage our new lifestyles, but it is nice to think that using this time wisely might help to develop stronger careers plans for the future. What a great opportunity to exploit – time to really think about what you would like to achieve in the future
A WARM WELCOME
and how to do that. What steps do you need to take to achieve those goals? On a fortnightly basis, this Careers e-mag will release topical information for you to look at, and hopefully help you with your plans. It will include information about vacancies, insights into developing employability skills, links to useful information and organisations, interviews with trail-blazing students, and links to a range of social media to keep you “in the loop” about developments in the main progression routes of HE, Apprenticeships, Gap Year and Job Seeking.
We hope you enjoy it.

Head of Progression and Careers Leader

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT! We spoke to Kiera to ask her how she managed to land her very own apprenticeship from a Work Experience Placement.
Kiera, who studies Health and Social Care, knew university wouldn't be for her after Long Road, "I was thinking about going down the apprenticeship route because I knew that I didn't want to go to university and that I wanted to work and learn at the same time. I didn't know what I wanted to do for a career, but Eloise in the Careers Department helped me to find my placement in the Kindergarten at Stephen Perse. I felt very nervous as I have never been to a private school before and I didn't know what to expect, however, I was welcomed into the environment straight away. I got to do activities with the children and help to keep them busy so that they were not getting bored and restless!"
Having made an excellent impression on the school during her time on work experience, Kiera was told by her supervisor about the Stephen Perse apprenticeship scheme. "I was told I would be a good candidate for it. I had a think about it and decided that it would definitely be a good route to go down, so I decided to apply."
We're really pleased to hear that Kiera has been accepted and will begin her apprenticeship later in the year, so a huge well done!
We asked Kiera if she had any advice to offer students at Long Road - "Try anywhere for work experience, even if you've never thought about that particular sector before. I didn't know what I wanted to do and I thought that I would never be working with young children -and I now have an apprenticeship within a nursery with the company that I did my work experience with. So, people shouldn't say no to a place until they've tried it!"
