National Careers Week (NCW) is a one-week celebration of careers guidance and free resources in education across the UK. The aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance activity at an important stage in the academic calendar to help support young people develop awareness and excitement about their future pathways.

At Slindon College, our KS4 pupils had special visits from Sophie Holbourne, Student Recruitment and Events Officer from Chichester College and from Katie Williams as part of the Work Aid Team at Aldingbourne Trust.

Both guests gave a presentation to our KS4 and Sixth Form.

 

Friday 7th March saw the College host our annual Careers Fair afternoon for our Year 10. 11 & Sixth Form. A wide range of guests were present to talk to the pupils about their jobs and careers. Parents of Year 10, Year 11 and Sixth Form were welcome to attend.
