FOR STUDENTS
Choosing your career can be daunting. How are you supposed to know what you want to do as a teenager; most of your parents still don’t know what they want to do now! You are now getting close to thinking what you want to do beyond school, perhaps you’re looking at a further education course, an apprenticeship, an intern position or maybe all of these.
This is where Career Learning comes in. We’ve chosen two programmes next year to give you an indepth understanding of career opportunities in the Sports Industry and the Music, Media and Film industries.
You’ll learn not just through lectures but via practical workshops and tasks, with off site visits to the workplace. You’ll be learning about different jobs, the education courses needed, whilst getting some valuable work experience and networking opportunities. It’ll also look great on your CV and UCAS application.
In addition to having access to a gym and swimming pool each morning and evening, you’ll be cooking some of your meals during the week, and when you’re not, you’ll have a full hot and cold buffet to choose from at each meal time.
