Student entitlement to careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG)

CEIAG is about helping students to plan for their future by equipping them with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about the choices open to them and to make successful transitions through learning and into work.  

Your CEIAG includes a range of:

• Planned programme of career education from Year 7 onwards.

 • Access to a qualified independent impartial Careers Adviser from year 9 including at least one interview by the end of Y11 if requested.

• Work experience in Year 10.

• Access to up to date and impartial careers information from a range of sources including Unifrog.

• Encounters with local employers – you should be offered at least one encounter each year from year 7 to year 11. Examples of employer encounters are school assemblies, business breakfasts, mentoring, mock interviews and workplace visits.

• Information about and/or visits to further education colleges, universities and other training providers, so you can understand the full range of courses, apprenticeships and technical education/training routes available.
