Student Career Programmes

 

Need help deciding what subjects to study in the 6th form?

  Don't know what to study in the 6th form?

 

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, don't worry you are most definitely not alone! The majority of students at school, college or university have very little idea of what they want to do for the next year let alone for the rest of their lives.

 

 

Not sure what to study at college or university?

  

Don't know what to study?

 

Choosing A-Levels, Highers, HNDs and Degrees can be tough with the vast choice of courses, colleges and universities in the UK. You can often be left with the horrible sinking feeling of 'What if I choose the wrong one?', or 'What if I don't get on the course I want?'.

 

Have no idea what you are going to do after school or college?

   Don't know what career is for you?

It is true that these are some of the most important decisions you will ever make - but it is also true that there is room for a little flexibility. After all what you are interested in now may not be what interests you in 5 years, but how will you ever know unless you try it on for size?

Part of finding out what you want is discounting what you don't want - or discovering what doesn't suit you.

 

Working Career offers flexible Student Career Guidance and Counselling Programmes uniquely designed for you - we find out what makes you tick, what tickles your fancy and which boxes to tick to narrow your course and career choices down for you. With the help of psychometric tests, questionnaires, coaching and counselling we will get to the bottom of your innate talents, abilities and skills to give you real career and course options to aim for.  

Just a few of the things we will find out about you that will help you answer the all important 'future' question are:

  • Your natural abilities
  • Your unique personality
  • Your interests - to date of course
  • Your personal learning style
  • Careers that would suit you
  • If further education is right for you at this point?

If you are a student over the age of 16 you are the perfect age to start thinking about answering some of life's bigger questions - we are here to help you find YOUR answer, nobody elses.
