Careers Education, Information, Advice & Guidance

 

Our dedicated Careers Adviser Amy Holding, works with LAP providing advise and guidance for LAP pupils. 

We believe that all students should be supported, stretched and challenged in every lesson during their school-based education so that they can achieve and make choices to help them to live a happy, successful life.

Each child is unique and therefore needs individualised education, information, advice and guidance to enable them to make aspirational life choices so that they succeed and can discover their potential.

The LAP Curriculum allows for all pupils to individualise their timetables and choose qualifications dependant upon their chosen career paths.

 

 

Students receive 1:1 careers interview with an independent, qualified and highly experienced careers adviser – follow up appointments can be arranged to meet students’ needs.

Work Experience

All year 10 and 11 pupils are able to book their work experience at any point throughout the year depending on their progress with class work and vocational development. The purpose of work experience is for students to have an insight into a career path which they are interested in pursuing. Work experience placements must therefore be arranged or chosen according to their highlighted career path. Prior planning and preparation is therefore crucial and students who are struggling to find or arrange a beneficial placement will be supported and given a range of opportunities to clarify their interests. 

 

World experience days 

Guest speakers from across a wide range of industries will be invited in to LAP centres throughout the academic year to give talks about their industry and where possible offer a practical, hands on activity to give pupils a taste of their role.

Career Education 

Here at LAP we provide children with the chance to develop their careers outside education. We provide weekly work experience placements and invite motivational speakers in to try and encourage students and show them a range of different career paths.

Our most recent speaker was Carlisle United Footballer Joe Riley.
