CEIAG Entitlement
At Cardinal Newman Catholic High School it is our duty to provide students with high quality, impartial careers advice and guidance as we prepare our young people for their futures in whichever pathway they choose to follow. Students will be aware of the different options that await them whether that be university, employment or further training within apprenticeships or traineeships. Our CEIAG programme is delivered to our students through curriculum time. They have designated and targeted careers sessions throughout their time at Cardinal Newman and it’s our mission to ensure that high quality careers education is available to and accessed by all students throughout the year.
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance Programmes make a significant contribution to preparing young people for opportunities, responsibilities and experience of life. In particular, they help young people make decisions and manage the transition from learners to workers. It is essential that all learners have the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices and our careers offering allows students to put together the pieces of their future puzzle.
