CAREERS UPDATE JANUARY 8™ 2004.

 

Welcome to the New Year. Just a few details to let you know about what is happening in relation to careers over the next few weeks.                                

• All the information that will be read out to you by your form tutor concerning careers will also appear on the Hall Mead web site under the heading careers, please let your parents know so that they can keep up to date with the latest developments.

• College Transfer forms need to be completed as soon as possible. Once you have completed the rough draft, then ask your form tutor for the actual form, and complete, then hand in to your form tutor. Even if you think you are not going to college it is worth filling the form in, you are guaranteed a place if you apply by the middle of February-half term.

• The Careers room is open at lunchtimes, where you can read literature about qualifications, courses available etc. The computers will be up and running in a few weeks time. Opening times 12.40-1. 15.1 will be in attendance to give advice and guidance.

• Interviews with Futures will be starting next week. I will be giving you more details when I receive them.

• Later on this term there is to be meeting on Modem

Apprenticeships at the Town Hall. If you and your parents are interested in attending, then I NEED TO HAVE YOUR NAMES BY FRIDAY 16™ JANUARY. I have details about the scheme in the careers room, but basically they are work-based training with an employer. You are paid either a wage- if you are employed- or a training allowance. The apprenticeship will involve working towards a National Vocational Qualification, Key Skills and a technical certificate.

• If you require further information about any aspect of careers then please do not hesitate to contact me
