Over several years we have built a close, strong and effective relationship with Career Connect. The quality of their support has been excellent. As careers education rightly grows in importance within schools, it is more important than ever to have professional, knowledgeable and skilled support available to ensure we give our students a world class careers education. Our careers education is strong for all students, and our close relationship with Career Connect has been at the heart of that development: offering support, guidance, access to opportunities and a wealth of knowledge.

St Chad’s are delighted to be working with Career Connect. We have taken advantage of the wide range of careers events over the past few years. These have included some excellent sessions on Challenging Stereotypes, Jobs for Tomorrow, Employability, Resilience & Citizenship. These sessions are coordinated and delivered by the fantastic Career Connect staff and volunteers from local businesses. It’s a superb opportunity for pupils to learn about the world of work and consider some of the local companies who they may not have heard about even though they are right on their doorstep.

We have employed the services of Career Connect to provide one to one support for our students and to support them at key transition points. The advisors we have used have provided excellent support and advice for our students using local and up to date knowledge.

Career Connect is a crucial partner of Mill Green School delivering quality advice, guidance and support to our students and their families. Most importantly is that personal touch they deliver, they invest time in getting to know our students and are sympathetic to differing needs and abilities which informs the accuracy of the advice and guidance they provide.
