CEG is taught through one-hour sessions and several one-day workshops. Our aim is to focus pupils’ attention on planning for a realistic career including plotting out the different educational/training routes to achieve career goals, bearing in mind that employers are increasingly interested in prospective employees with the right personal qualities and transferable skills as well as having good academic qualifications. So, over the two year course we invite up to thirty visiting speakers to talk to Y10 and Y11 students about different careers and we hold an annual Careers Convention each October for parents and pupils. There is a small Careers/Training section in the Connexions Meeting room which pupils can use during lunchtimes and after school.

Most CEG work in Year 10 prepares pupils for their two-week Work Experience during November of Year 11. This preparation follows the steps that are needed to gain a first job: preparing a Career Profile, writing a Letter of Application, compiling and word processing a CV and preparing for and attending a twenty minute interview.

Workshops include a full days Health and Safety training, an International Enterprise Day & a Careers Exhibition.
