At Arden College, we are committed to careers education, information, advice, and guidance ensuring you leave us with the right tools and values to become independent, an active citizen or employed. We will support you to consider your future options, realise your potential and decide how your skills and experiences fit with opportunities in the local job market.
While at Arden College you may have sessions on your timetable including:
- Employability/work skills teaches you about careers and the skills and knowledge you’ll need to become employable. This is built into the curriculum
- Work experience/placement: At Arden College, you have the chance to take part in work experience placements that help you learn about different jobs and workplaces. We work with each of you to find a placement that matches your interests, strengths, and future goals. This allows you to try new things, learn new skills, and build your confidence. Work experience helps you become more independent and prepares you for life after college, whether that is further education, volunteering, training, or paid employment.
- Careers information will provide you with information and resources about courses, occupations and career paths
- Careers advice is a more in-depth explanation of information and how to access and use information
- Careers guidance or careers counselling is a deeper intervention where your skills, attributes and interests are explored in relation to your career options
We offer professional, impartial, and confidential advice and guidance to enable you to make informed decisions and to plan the next steps towards your future, including guidance with applying for employment, university applications or apprenticeships.
