Careers Information
At Clyst Vale Community College we provide a careers programme to meet the needs of all students with designated careers lessons in each school year from Year 7 through our C42/ CPS and Sixth form programme. Through the curriculum we build students essential skills (speaking, listening, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, leadership, staying positive and aiming high) which students will use throughout their school life and chosen career path.
There is a whole school approach to careers and students will gain information across the curriculum to be successful in the world of work. All students are entitled to careers guidance which is impartial, which supports them in making informed decisions about their future.
The Gatsby Benchmarks
The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework of eight guidelines that stipulate what makes the best careers provision in schools. Our programme is designed to fulfil the Gatsby benchmarks and provide students with timely advice to enable them to engage in their careers journey and make educated and appropriate decisions.
