Our teachers and support staff, have an important role in supporting the CEIAG programme (careers education, information, advice and guidance) here at Saints Peter and Paul. Staff have an active interest in getting the very best from our students and inspiring them to achieve in whatever they do when they leave our school. Our teachers are keen to promote the variety of careers and opportunities available within their own subject areas.
Teachers can enhance careers activity through their subjects in a variety of ways - such as guest speakers in school, subject-focused careers trips, and employer-led careers lessons, with employers helping to deliver aspects of the curriculum. Opportunities within schemes of work allow for discussion and exploration of skills, careers and pathways all linked to post 16 destinations and beyond. Teachers and staff play a key part in delivering CEIAG through Complementary Studies lessons, supporting key events such as Careers Fairs, taster days at local colleges and universities, STEM events etc, and bespoke programmes for key cohorts. We will strive to make sure students are aware in every subject how various roles, responsibilities, various workplaces and life skills fit into that subject area, alongside the potential career paths that may be derived from exploring a pathway in that subject. Our themed ‘Learning for Life’ days are a key way in which subjects can focus on subject specific support and guidance linked to CEIAG.
Our pastoral staff, equally, play an important role supporting our CEIAG programme. Examples include delivering focused tutorial time, supporting themed assemblies and guest speakers, guiding students through our guided choices (options) process and liaising with the school’s Careers Education team to guide and advise students on an individual basis. Staff also support our students with initiatives such as CV building, applying for college, preparing for interviews and employability, and accessing the school’s careers software platform (delivered via Unifrog). A crucial way staff can support students is by signposting them to our school Careers Adviser (Mr Peter Reay) who is trained to offer additional and personalised information and advice.
We also have excellent support from a plethora of external agencies that can link with staff and subjects to enhance student opportunities and experiences. If teaching staff want to learn more about embedding careers into their lessons, please speak to Mr Mullarkey, our CEIAG lead in school.
