Career Connect is a charity with an outstanding reputation for providing high quality Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance for young people in schools and colleges.

Careers Information, Advice and Guidance, at every stage of a pupil’s time at St Anselm’s College, is important to help them realise their potential and to make informed decisions about their futures. Young people need to understand where they could be going and how to get there.

St Anselm’s College will be working with Career Connect during this academic year to deliver and exciting and inspirational programme of career advice and guidance activities.  The Careers Adviser who will be working with St Anselm’s College is Kim Dickson.

Kim will work with pupils from each year group at different points over the academic year. However, if your child is in Year 10/11 or even sixth form, they will have the opportunity to have a one-to-one careers guidance interview in the coming weeks.

One to one career guidance interview will give your child the opportunity to discuss future career ideas, subject choice and suitable post 16/18 provision. Kim will also deliver group sessions with pupils that will introduce the world of work, jobs for the future and a range of other careers related topics. Kim will be available during Parents Evenings if you have any specific questions or wish to discuss post 16 options and career choices.

Kim is available for interviews every Thursday in the CIEG room and during the lunch time she has a ‘drop-in clinic’ if any pupils have any questions, they can also apply to college, apprenticeships or even if they wish to use the careers room to research their own ideas.
