Careers & Enrichment
Support Careers & Enrichment with ASCAT
We are proud to work in partnership with employers, professionals, parents, governors and our wider community to help prepare our students for their future careers and gain access to cultural and social capital.
Careers education plays a vital role in raising aspirations, building confidence and developing the skills young people need to succeed in further education, training and employment. By sharing your experience and insights, you can make a real and lasting difference to students’ understanding of the world of work.
We are inviting external volunteers, parents and carers from all schools within the Trust, members of staff, governors and their wider professional networks to register their interest in supporting careers-related learning opportunities and other enrichment experiences.

Raise awareness of a wide range of career pathways, including apprenticeships, university and vocational routes
-
