Career Sector Links and Useful Websites

We have collated a list of useful websites which we would encourage students to access, particularly prior to their appointment with the Careers Adviser in school. These websites are divided by sector.

To find out specific sector information, such as where to find out about Accountancy, Computing, Manufacturing, and Teaching to name a few, take a look on this link Careers Websites.

We also have specific sites which will be useful for our Sixth Form students, information such as ‘Is University the right choice for me?’, summer schools and taster sessions that are available to help provide university experience and ‘What a degree Apprenticeship is?’ this can be found here.
