  • Display the full range of routes available to young people post-16 and post-18 and to provide personal guidance.
  • Offer individual impartial support to students to choose the pathway that is right for them.
  • Expose students to the world of work through work experience placements as well as curriculum-related workplace visits.
  • Enable students to consider their own strengths, skills and motivations and to evaluate how these impact future career decisions.
