At Wednesfield Academy, Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance is embedded through all elements of our pupils’ lives within the academy.  We work hard to ensure that careers education is an integral part of the school to ensure that our vision is met so that we can successfully Change Lives and Shape Futures.   We work in partnership with a wide range of employers and education providers to offer an inspiring, supportive and motivational careers programme for everyone. We aim to give every pupil the best chance at progressing onto their chosen career pathway, through an exciting range of careers events that showcase the full range of options available, and by helping pupils to navigate that choice with well-informed, up-to-date and independent advice and guidance.  

We offer careers activities to meet everyone’s individual needs and allow our pupils to broaden their horizons by meeting new and inspiring people who help us to bring together a careers programme that raises aspirations, challenges stereotypical thinking and promotes equality and diversity.  

We take a whole school approach to careers education, with careers support being embedded into the whole curriculum and a pupil’s journey through the school from Year 7 to Year 13. The careers programme at Wednesfield Academy goes beyond helping pupils to figure out what their next steps should be; it helps pupils to recognise their own strengths and interests and to continually develop the essential employability and life skills to make successful applications to their chosen pathways.
