Careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) are key elements of our work with students at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. CEIAG covers a range of activities and interventions that help our students to become more self-reliant and better able to manage their personal and career development, as part of their ongoing learning. It is our aim that our students will be well prepared and able to make informed decisions regarding the next stages in their lives, enabling them to thrive.
CEIAG at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School has four essential and interlinked principles:
Careers Education – a planned curriculum programme that gives students the knowledge and skills for planning and managing their careers.
Careers Information – including learning options, skills, occupations, labour market information and progression routes – facilitated by a range of on-line resources, accessible via our Moodle VLE (Virtual Learning Environment), including access to the National Careers Service, university research resources, the Apprenticeships portal and a range of research tools.
Careers Advice and Guidance – personalised help to identify long-term goals and to plan the steps to attain them, including access to advisers who can provide a careers interview.
Work-Related Learning – experiences within and outside the curriculum that help students learn about economic wellbeing, careers and enterprise.
The Careers Lead is Mr J Powell, the Careers Co-ordinator is Mrs V Howard and the Careers and Work Experience Administrator is Miss A Parsons. They can be contacted via careers@crgs.org.uk or 01200 423118.
All Careers information (including the CEIAG Policy and the Provider Access Policy) is reviewed annually each October.
