Your next steps
At Wellingborough School, career guidance is an essential part of every pupil’s journey. Our Careers Department offers tailored advice, resources, and support to help pupils make informed choices about their futures.
Work experience
From work experience placements to workshops and one-to-one guidance, we equip students with the skills and confidence to navigate an ever-changing world. Pupils are encouraged to build transferable skills, take ownership of their ambitions, and explore a wide range of career pathways.
Career development
Careers advice has never been more important in a school as we face a changing world. With employment in a global market, more and more developments in technology replacing man, more and more choice and competition, the students need support.
Here at Wellingborough School, we aim for students to understand and add to their transferable skills, to take ownership of their futures and to make the most of the many resources to help them find out more.
Inspiring futures
As well as a Careers Convention with over 100 stands, we hold an Apprenticeship Evening which is an exciting alternative to university, suiting some of our learners. We have guest speakers and work with local businesses to support students into Work Experience.
We were recently visited by Nick Hewer from the television show ‘The Apprentice’ for a fun day involving a group task in setting up a company and designing a product:
Careers is imbedded into the curriculum by encouraging teachers to “think” careers. We produce a monthly newsletter for students offering information on news, resources and taster courses which are great opportunities for finding out more and aid with decision making. The key is sitting down with the student in a 1-1 interview to help and inspire.
It has been proven that early research and engagement about your future helps with better grades and anxiety. The Careers department is here to help support students on this journey.
