POLICY FOR CAREERS EDUCATION, INFORMATION, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE (CEIAG) at St Robert of Newminster Catholic School and Sixth Form College

Philosophy

At St Robert of Newminster School our Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) programme is an integral part of the preparation of pupils for the opportunities and experiences of adult life. Its central concern is equipping pupils to manage the choices, changes and transitions affecting their future education, training, employment and life as adult members of society.

Rationale for CEIAG

All young people need a planned programme of activities to help them choose a 11-19 pathway that is right for them. Our CEIAG programme should enable pupils to:

Be more self aware about their own skills, aptitudes, values, aspirations and potential
Have a better understanding of education, training and future career opportunities.
Make informed choices about their own continuing education, training and future career paths
Develop career management skills of self reliance, adaptability, flexibility, decision making and problem solving
