Students are given careers information advice and guidance to support them in making informed choices about their future career pathway and destination after leaving the Sixth Form. This could be university, apprenticeship, internship, specialist colleges, and employment with training. One-to-one careers meetings are delivered and support offered for the completion of applications, personal statements, CVs and interview preparation.
As part of Lift Aylward Sixth Form's continued support to ensure students to progress into the best opportunity for them, we subscribe to the student destination support programme Unifrog. All students are also enrolled onto the Unifrog platform to support them in exploring their interests and then find and successfully apply for their best next step after school.
