CAREERS GUIDES FOR STUDENTS
Here at Stephenson Studio School you have access to a fully qualified Careers Adviser, Mr. Lambeth. Following over ten years working for the local youth Careers service, Connexions, and Prospects, in local schools, I am able to offer my knowledge and experience to our students.
Many of you have already had a Careers meeting with me. For those who haven’t, a Careers meeting is where I invite you for a 1-1 meeting, usually after lunch, for around 20 minutes. The meetings are to find out if you have an idea in mind of what you’d like to do when you leave the school, e.g. college, apprenticeships. I also ask you if you have a long-term career idea, and for those who don’t I can tell you about websites, online quizzes etc. to help you come up with some ideas. My meetings are very conversational, and as I know you all already through my other role as an LSA, we will be used to each other already. Hopefully this will allow you to relax and open up about your feelings and ideas about your future career. After our careers meeting, I produce an action plan, so you have a document to reflect on what we talked about, and I give some action points also, i.e. use a certain website to research your career idea further.
As you are aware, we aren’t in school at present due to the Coronavirus, so if you have any career-related questions, feel free to contact me - clambeth@stephensonstudioschool.co.uk
Below I have listed some key websites for students to go on during your time home studying. I’ve put down which year groups would benefit from looking at each link.
I hope you are all well, and are using your time wisely!
Many thanks
Mr.Lambeth
