Careers

Careers is a very important aspect of student life at KTS and we strive to give our pupils the best possible outcomes. Careers covers many aspects of development and it is explored in various and individualised ways. Our pupils have access to work experience, encounters with local businesses and trades and students develop their entrepreneurial skills through Enterprise.

At KTS, we ensure that we meet all the critera required to meet the needs of our students. We monitor our progress using Compass+, which is a Careers Benchmark Tool. Using this tool, we can see directly how we are meeting the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks. Please click on the link below to see how we are currently meeting this criteria.  All judgements are verified by an external Careers Adviser.

Our stable careers programme is delivered across upper school with dedicated Careers packages to support the curriculum.  These include, Talentino and Skills Builder.

 

All students receive a careers education at a level suiting their abilities and needs, through the Preparing for Adulthood strand of Employment.  This will look different depending on which curriculum pathway a student follows but will include opportunities to learn about the different careers available and the people who do those careers.

Encounters and Engagement

Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to engage with employers and service providers to develop their understanding of their options and opportunities after KTS.

 

Each year, in the Autumn term, we hold an open event for parents of leavers and near leavers to meet with Further Education providers, Day Services and support services.

 

In the summer term, we hold our careers day, where students are able to engage with a number of different groups to learn more about the world of work, the current local labour market and the activities and opportunities available to them in around the area.  Information of events can be found in our newsletters.
