In today’s rapidly evolving job market, effective career guidance is more essential than ever for helping young people navigate their futures.
Research indicates that only one in five schools effectively provides the necessary information for students to make informed career decisions.
At the Changing Education Group, we believe that every student deserves access to high-quality career advice that empowers them to reach their aspirations and overcome the key challenges they face today.
From our extensive engagement with educators, we’ve identified several persistent challenges:
Limited Access to Quality Information- Many schools need help to provide comprehensive and impartial information about post-16 options, particularly for first-generation university applicants.
Diverse Student Needs- Catering to a range of students, including neurodivergent individuals and those with additional needs, requires tailored approaches that many institutions are not equipped to offer.
Compliance with Statutory Requirements- Schools often find it challenging to meet the Department for Education’s guidelines for careers education and guidance.
Employer Engagement- Schools frequently lack connections with local businesses and industries, limiting opportunities for student exposure to real-world experiences and mentorship.
Tracking Progress and Achievements- Implementing systems to track student progress and achievements in personal development can be daunting, yet it’s essential for effective career planning.
Our Careers Advice and Guidance services are designed to support students throughout their educational journey, offering a range of flexible programmes tailored to the diverse needs of schools and colleges.
Here’s how we address the aforementioned challenges:
Virtual and In-Person Career Interviews- Our experienced career advisers conduct tailored interviews that equip students with the information they need to make informed choices about their futures, whether they are considering A-levels, apprenticeships, or university degrees. With flexible options for delivery—both virtual and in-person—we adapt our services to fit the unique scheduling and logistical needs of each school. This ensures that all students, including first-generation university applicants, receive clear, unbiased guidance on post-16 options, no matter the structure of their school’s careers programme.
Qualified Professionals- All our careers advisers are committed to delivering impartial guidance focused on the student’s best interests. Our team is trained to support neurodivergent students and those with additional needs, offering customised advice and ensuring all individuals receive the tailored support necessary for success.
Full Range of Post-16 Options- We provide comprehensive information on available pathways, including further education, training, and employment opportunities. Our advisers are equipped to assist students with everything from virtual work experience programmes to navigating financial aid options, thus helping them overcome barriers to success.
Independent Guidance- Our services align with statutory guidance from the Department for Education, ensuring students receive impartial careers advice from years 8 to 13. We also advise students on leveraging professional tools like LinkedIn to build networks and explore career opportunities in the digital age.
Enhanced Employer Engagement- We actively seek to bridge the gap between schools and local businesses, facilitating connections that provide students with real-world insights and opportunities for mentorship. This engagement is critical for enriching career education and enhancing student outcomes.
Progress Tracking Systems- We understand the importance of monitoring student progress. Through our comprehensive Connect Suite, we offer tools for tracking personal development achievements and gathering valuable insights into each student’s journey. This ensures that students have a clear, measurable pathway to follow as they transition from education to employment, helping schools maintain high standards in careers guidance while making student progress easy to manage and assess.
Implementing a robust careers guidance programme yields numerous benefits:
Improved Student Outcomes- Students gain clarity on their career goals, leading to better educational and employment opportunities.
Enhanced Confidence- Access to expert advice helps students feel more prepared and confident in their choices, whether applying for apprenticeships or university programmes.
Support for Schools- By partnering with us, schools can meet statutory requirements and enhance their overall careers education offerings, including managing student data and tracking personal development over time.
Competitive Pricing- Our services are competitively priced, ensuring schools can provide effective careers guidance without exceeding their budgets.
The effectiveness of our careers advice and guidance can be seen in the feedback we receive from schools.
A Careers Lead from Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School shared, “A big thank you to the Changing Education Group for all the support and guidance offered to our Year 12 pupils. They now have a clear idea of their future and are coming out of the guidance interviews positively.”
This testimony underscores how our services provide essential information and inspire students to take charge of their futures.
Incorporating independent career advice and guidance into the educational framework is vital for preparing students for the challenges of the modern workforce.
At the Changing Education Group, we are committed to ensuring that young people are informed, inspired, and equipped with the skills they need to succeed.
Whether it’s providing clear pathways for post-16 options, tracking student progress, or supporting neurodivergent students in navigating their career choices, we offer solutions that benefit students and schools alike.
