Careers Advice and Guidance

The College recognises the changing patterns of employment and economic developments in the United Kingdom and, in order to meet the challenges set by these changes, will provide you with a comprehensive impartial careers education and guidance programme.  This programme is directed by the careers co-ordinator, who is available for individual consultations with students or parents before, during and after your College course.

Much of the careers programme takes place through the tutorial system, with major contributions from group tutors and Connexions Cumbria.  You will have the opportunity to listen to specialist presentations from representatives of a number of professions and to take advantage of a well-stocked careers library which is available to you at all times and includes appropriate computer software.

Each year large numbers of College students go on to higher education and the College provides up to date, information, specialist advice and guidance on the relevant application procedures.  There are careers programmes and information on the College IT network.
