The careers programme has seen Lower Academy students independently and collaboratively take an active role in discovering, developing and practically exploring various careers and skills relating to employability and real life:

The good, the bad and the ugly (job applications)
Budgeting
Money skills
STEM Careers
Specific employability skills

Students have responded maturely and engaged well in all of the activities and challenges set. The weekly careers programme will continue until Easter, providing students with more opportunities to develop understanding of career pathways, employability skills and the opportunity to develop these skills in challenges set.
