YEAR GROUP CEIAG JOURNEY
Starting in Year 7 and during each year that students are at school, students will develop their careers and skills awareness through a programme of events and learning both in and outside of school.
This careers journey will help them to understand how important it is to have the right attitude and work ethic as they progress through education and training to secure the place or role of their dreams.
