Careers
Welcome to the Careers Page at Oakwood School.
The aim of this page is to keep you informed of the Work-Related curriculum and associated activities, as well as providing Information, Advice & Guidance. As presented below, through the Oakwood School Career’s Programme, each student from year 7 to year 11 will experience a range of events, assemblies and presentations, to ensure that they create the best decisions for their future.
This will be achieved through:
-
Self-development (helping students to understand themselves and develop their capabilities)
-
Career exploration (helping students to investigate careers and opportunities)
-
Career management (helping students implement their plans)
At Oakwood School, we provide a programme for all our students enabling them to have access to full and informative career progression which is supported by an Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) Advisor.
