Your future
Preparing you for a new world
Navigating the world of careers has never been easy, but in the digital age the job market is changing more quickly and
the future is possibly harder to predict. We are well aware that work patterns have changed and the concept of a job for life has disappeared, but what might be in store for our young people when they embark upon their careers? Getting
a good job is not
just about going to university; we need to consider alternative pathways that offer the option to earn
at the same time as learn. This also opens up opportunities to develop the skills that will be required in future workplaces.
One of the advantages of the digital age is that there is a lot of information that is readily accessible.
At Seaford we try
to signpost this information and get students to think about where their strengths lie and in which direction
they hope to move forward with their lives. It is no longer sufficient to have good qualifications; to be successful, young people need to demonstrate their skills of communication, problem solving, creativity, leadership, teamwork and resilience. Our academic and enrichment programmes help students along this pathway and the careers programme focuses on developing these skills.
Our careers provision includes profiling and one-to- one guidance for all students in Year 11. We invite speakers to come in and give an insight into different areas of employment and we organise practical workshops to focus on employability skills. We work with Morrisby and with FutureSmart, which gives us access to an extensive career library and up-to-date advice. Our intention is to raise awareness of the array of opportunities available to suit all needs.
Seaford will help you to figure out the way forward and will equip you with the skills that matter.
