Careers Education
Mrs Stevenson
Careers Curriculum Lead at Penrice Academy
Welcome to our careers provision.
Our vision is that all students are confident, informed and ambitious individuals who are best prepared for a successful future in an ever-changing world. To achieve this, our Careers programme leads students through a journey of discovery and exploration of employment sectors, post-16 job and educational opportunities both within and outside the taught curriculum to prepare them for life beyond Penrice.
We work closely with local and national companies to deliver an extensive Careers programme: students visit workplaces; meet with employers and Careers specialists; receive one-to-one guidance and enjoy personalised support to develop an understanding of future job markets and the skills required in the modern economy.
We regularly measure our programme against the 8 Gatsby benchmarks and review our provision with our partner in the Careers and Enterprise Company to ensure our students receive the best possible careers guidance and education.
You can explore our outstanding careers provision via the links further below, including tailored information on our Student, Parent and Employer Zones.
"Carefully planned and ongoing careers advice starts early. It links to pupils' personal interests and ambitions seamlessly. Pupils are very well-prepared for their future lives in modern Britain."
