There is a Careers Hub in the Library which is well stocked with resource materials for students to access careers information, and all information is shared to give the best possible Impartial Advice and Guidance for every student. This is supplemented with materials available to students via the Academy computer network and carefully chosen website guidance.
The Academy has built partnerships with a range of employers, for example Mills & Reeve Solicitors, Deloitte UK, Ernst & Young, Intercity Technology, Arup, Social Mobility Foundation, Sutton Trust and NHS to provide employer engagement and work-related experiences to set our students’ learning in context, to foster ambition and to support forward planning.
The Academy works with a range of universities from across the country to ensure that our students have the best access to guidance towards higher education. We have a partnership with the University of Birmingham who offer students guidance talks, workshops, UCAS support and educational programmes that include Routes to Professions, Inspire and Year 13 A2B Scheme. Aston University work with students and families to broaden their knowledge of pathways to university from year 9 to year 11 by delivering a bespoke programme. The universities offer guidance support across all key stages.
