Careers : home
At Campbell College, we invest significant time in supporting our pupils in all facets of their Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance provision (CEIAG). We encourage pupils to be self-sufficient in their research and investigations of career and learning opportunities while providing a strong network of support to promote a serious approach in planning for future choices. It is important that pupils think seriously about their future prospects and we endeavour to keep them fully informed about Economic and Labour Market issues to assist them in Personal Career Planning. We encourage all parties to work together - pupils, staff, parents and the local community alike, to provide quality CEIAG provision which is a significant factor in our pupils' future success.
