Careers

Aims

At St Claudine's Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) is an integral part of our commitment to the development of the whole person. Rooted in Gospel values, we believe that every individual is created in the image and likeness of God, with unique talents, gifts and aspirations. Through high-quality careers education, information, advice and guidance, we support students in recognising their God-given potential and encourage them to use their abilities in service of others.

Our careers programme helps students to make informed choices about their future education, training and employment pathways, while fostering the values of dignity, respect, responsibility and stewardship. We seek to raise aspirations, broaden horizons and inspire young people to pursue fulfilling futures that contribute positively to their communities and wider society.

By providing meaningful encounters with employers, education providers and the world of work, we enable students to develop confidence, resilience and the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. We are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of background or circumstance, have access to impartial guidance and opportunities that promote equality, social mobility and personal achievement.

Through our careers education programme, we aim not only to prepare students for successful careers, but also to help them discern their vocation, make ethical choices and become compassionate, responsible citizens who live out the values of our Catholic faith in all aspects of their lives.

Labour Market Information
