At Smestow Academy we work in partnership with a range of employers and education providers to offer a wide-ranging, inspiring and exciting careers programme to help every pupil achieve their full potential. We offer impartial, well-informed, up-to-date advice and guidance on the full range of opportunities available. As well as providing a large selection of careers events and activities throughout the year, which are tailored to the needs of each pupil, we also take a whole school approach to careers education.
Our pupils need to be prepared for the evolving working world and so, at the heart of our Careers Programme, is a focus on building up essential lifelong employability skills. All staff help to drive forward a programme which raises aspirations, challenges stereotypical thinking and promotes equality and diversity.
