Over the time that you are at T6, you, with your parent/ carer support, will be making a number of decisions relating to your future. We know how important and life changing these decisions can be, and this drives us to ensure that everyone receives the best possible careers education and advice.

During your time at T6 Sixth Form, you will be involved in a number of activities and opportunities to develop your skills and understanding of the world of work. This enables you to make informed choices for your future in line with your strengths and areas of interest. As well as this, the T6 FutureProof Careers programme aims to provide students with insights into the possible different pathways such as University, Apprenticeships, Higher Technical Qualifications and more!Β 

As an Education provider, we have a statutory duty to provide access, for all students within years 12 & 13 to impartial, independent information, advice and guidance on careers.

We are very pleased that we have our own dedicated Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) Adviser, Luke Myers, who is available to assist you with any aspect of careers advice you require and to guide you along your individual career path.

Where the interview will take place?

Your interview will take place in the Careers office with Luke Myers.

What will be discussed?

In your careers interview, there is no right or wrong answer. It is an open discussion about you and your interests.
During your guidance interview Luke will help you to:

  • identify your personal qualities and skills
  • identify the skills you would like to develop
  • come up with ideas for study and work
  • explore specific career areas open to you
  • explore current and future job opportunities
  • understand the process of job search, writing a CV and going for interviews
    explore your interests, likes and dislikes, family influences, personal barriers and work experience
  • think about how study, work experience, and home-life can all contribute to your employability
  • Look into the different Post-18 Educational Pathways that are available and which one suits your needs best

Luke will give you:

  • accurate and up-to-date information
  • the opportunity, if suitable, to complete a personality-based assessment which helps individuals to know themselves better
  • alternative sources of information and help if required
  • an action plan to help you move forward which covers all that has been discussed in the interview

How to prepare for your interview:

Think about:

  • your current situation – what planning you have already done, if any
  • what you would like to change
  • qualifications or additional qualifications and experience required for the career you are interested in
  • how much control you feel you have in making choices
  • the ideas you already have but don’t know how to move forward with or perhaps you have no ideas at all

The benefits of a guidance interview are:

  • increased motivation and self- confidence
  • greater self-awareness
  • identification of more achievable ambitions
  • improved decision making skills
  • increased awareness of opportunities

Local Labour Market Information
The Sixth Form uses Labour Market Information to inform its curriculum planning to meet the needs of local employers and prepare our pupils for the job opportunities of the future.

We know that a big part of the decision-making process when choosing a course will be considering the job opportunities that are available locally and further afield. We encourage all of our pupils to find out more about the Local Labour Market information on the NPCAT FUTUREPROOF careers website.

Skillsometer can help you discover what jobs you might like to do in the future. You will be presented with a series of statements. Select the emoji that shows how you feel about each statement. You will be given suggestions of jobs linked to what you most enjoy doing.
