Destination Help and Support

We know the demands of choosing a destination and regularly provide support and guidance alongside our Careers Advisors to help students make the ‘right choice’ for them, whether that be going into full-time employment, Apprenticeships or University.

UCAS

With the majority of our students attending Higher Education, we take students through the entire UCAS process with help including;

  • Selecting the most appropriate five choices for university
  • How to select a conditional and insurance offer
  • How to write a personal statement
  • How to apply for student finance
  • What to do on the day if they have not met their offer with dedicated staff going through clearing with the students
  • What to do on the day if they have exceeded their original offer and would like to apply elsewhere

Apprenticeships

With many of our students choosing to go into apprenticeships, we believe it is vital to help support our students with apprenticeship applications and helping them find the perfect apprenticeship that inspires and supports the next stage in their educational journey.

With this in mind, all students looking to apply for an apprenticeship receive one to one support with our designated Career’s Advisor through every stage of application as well as the opportunity to attend bespoke careers days to each student’s needs. We also support students to try and find degree apprenticeships if they so wish – which are in high demand due to the limited opportunities to obtain one.
