Relevant to Secondary: Careers leaders, Heads of 6th Form, Heads of Year, Form Tutors, Classroom teachers
Description
This CPD session supports school staff to develop a clear and practical understanding of apprenticeships as a high-quality progression route for students.
The session demystifies apprenticeship pathways, including different levels and application processes, and highlights opportunities available both locally and beyond Camden. It also explores how schools can effectively support students to navigate and access these routes.
With a strong focus on equity and access, participants will explore the tailored support available through Camden’s STEAM and Future Talent teams.
Participants will explore how to:
- understand different apprenticeship levels and progression routes
- support students with application processes and access to opportunities
- embed apprenticeships within careers education provision
- use local networks and resources to strengthen student support
Through practical guidance and discussion, participants will be better equipped to promote apprenticeships confidently and support all students to access a wider range of post-16 pathways.
