Parents play an important role in guiding students in their progression from Aquinas College. There is information on the links below which you may find useful – especially details of the employment areas where there are skills shortages – the labour market information. Aquinas students are given login details to further online packages including Unifrog, which can be accessed at home; we would encourage you to use them together.
Students participate in the Careers Education programme via the 10:10 tutorial. They all have access to their own career plan which helps guide them make their decisions for After Aquinas. We encourage students to complete it on a regular basis. Through this information we can then email direct to students details about events, talks and activities which would suit their needs.
It is important for students to have contact with employers so we encourage students to undertake a period of relevant, career related work experience/work shadowing from half a day to a week towards the end of the summer term in the lower sixth. Participation in work experience could take place during college holidays. Any work experience that students complete should be recorded on their career plan and student information informed. There is minimal paperwork to be completed beforehand.
From time to time we email parents asking for feedback on events we hold; we would really appreciate if you can take the time to complete one of our surveys so we can improve the service for all its users. If you are able to contribute to our careers programme by giving a presentation to our students, offering a period of work experience or a visit, please contact Careers.
If at any time you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
