Careers and Work Experience at Crestwood College for Business and Enterprise

The careers programme followed by all students in Years 9, 10 and 11 allows the opportunity for students to:

  • know themselves better

  • be aware of education, training and career opportunities

  • make decisions about their future

  • manage transitions to new roles and situations

The programme provides students with a focus for their education, and prepares them for life long learning.

In Year 10 all students have access to a ten-day work experience programme, where they can develop their skills, strengths, sense of responsibility and communication skills in the world of work.
Some students follow a very successful work related learning programme in Key Stage 4, which involves them studying NVQ’s at post 16 colleges.   Our students have the opportunity to study vocational courses such as motor vehicle, engineering, animal care, catering and hairdressing.

Some of our students have been offered junior apprenticeships as part of their Key Stage 4 curriculum.
