Summary of programme
We provide independent careers advice for all learners from year 9 onwards with our independent careers adviser, Kate Beecham. Kate signs and can provide direct communication for our learners with no need for third party intervention.
Kate works alongside school and FE staff to provide a range of activities to raise awareness of options for our learners and they work together to encourage learners to join in external careers fairs such as at the Amex stadium and at our partner colleges.
It is our aim that every learner, for whom it is deemed appropriate, should have first hand experiences of the workplace through visits, a placement or experiences in school. Workplace experiences are delivered within the school setting especially when students are unable to access settings outside of school.
Any employers or anyone who would be interested in getting involved or offering placements for our learners, please contact careers@hamiltonlsc.co.uk
