Year 12/Lower Sixth Careers Guidance
Welcome to year 12!
Year 12 or Lower Sixth, is an ideal year to start to gently explore what genuinely interests you as a person, with no pressure. This is a fantastic ‘break’ year - enjoy it! You’ve survived GCSE’s and A levels aren’t for another year (apart from mocks!). So take this year to play with lots of ideas for the future and get to know what drives you. Careers tutoring can help you with:
Self-Analysis and Exploration
Careers tutoring can help you this year to:
Identify Your Passions: we’ll explore themes, subjects and activities that interest you and map out a Uni visit strategy so you can find out more.
Understand Your Strengths: we’ll use psychometric evaluations to gain insights into your innate skills, learning preferences, and personality traits to help you pick possible careers and degrees.
Explore Career Paths: we’ll plan work experience to try out your ideas - before needing to commit to long term decisions.
Planning for University and Beyond
As you progress through Year 12, Melanie can help with :
University Planning: Support with selecting courses, universities, understanding entry requirements, planning campus visits and open days.
Work Experience: Let’s get you testing your initial ideas via volunteering, work experience and informational interviews. These enhance your CV and help you make informed decisions.
Apprenticeships: Explore apprenticeship opportunities, including higher and degree apprenticeships, and understand both the benefits and full application process.
