Introduction to the CEIAG Department

​

A high quality careers provision is essential in today’s complex and changing employment market. At Killicomaine, Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is an important element of our provision. We strive to enable pupils to make more informed, considered and realistic decisions about their education, training and employment options.

Aims & Objectives of the CEIAG Department

​

We aim to:

​

• provide pupils with a broad and balanced curriculum that will enable them to pursue progression pathways which match their interests and aspirations;

• equip pupils with the employability skills required for future working lives through a range of opportunities and experiences;

• instil a commitment to lifelong learning in each pupil which is essential in today’s world of work; 

• empower pupils to plan and manage their future careers.

In support of our overall aims, there are 3 strategic objectives for our careers education and guidance programme; helping pupils to develop:

​

• Knowledge and understanding of themselves as individuals - their strengths, skills, personal qualities, interests, attainments and capabilities; (This is primarily managed through our Pupil Profile platform www.calc.eduction)

• Awareness and understanding of the world of work and of the career and learning opportunities available to them in terms of further/higher education, training and employment;

• Confidence and independence in terms of managing their career.
