At Wyvern we believe a good programme of Careers Education, Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) has a positive impact on students – giving them the skills, knowledge, and understanding to manage their own life-long learning and career development specifically:
-
To develop themselves and their aspirations through careers and work-related education
-
To find out about careers and the world of work, building strong connections with employers
-
To develop skills for career well-being and employability
Our whole school approach to careers is guided by the Gatsby Benchmarks of Good Career Guidance.
