Our careers programme
Nescot students can attend our Next Steps fair on Thursday 9 March, 10.30 - 1.30.
The National Careers Service has produced this Guide to Careers for parents
Our Careers 360 team will support you every step of the way, helping you to grow in confidence and to gain the skills and qualifications you need to progress in your chosen career.
Progression is the route you plan to take through education and into employment.
At Nescot we encourage our students to think ahead, so that they can choose the right courses to fit them and their future. Our careers
advisors visit every tutorial group at the beginning of the spring term to speak to students about planning their next steps, so that they are as prepared as possible. Students who want to move to the next level of their subject are made a conditional offer, based on entry requirements and a reference. Interviews are arranged for students thinking about studying a different subjects at the college, and information and advice is offered to those who are undecided.
For students planning to study at university level, we hold a series of workshops covering UCAS applications, personal statements and references at lunchtime on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the autumn term.
We also hold an annual careers fair aimed at helping our students to plan ahead.
Nescot is keen to work with employers and non-profit organisations as a way of supporting the employability of our students. We aim to weave the engagement we provide into the fabric of our provision and make this an exciting prospect for our students, enhancing their employability and developments.
We are always looking for innovative ways of engaging with employers. This includes inviting employers to events at Nescot, such as careers fairs, visiting our students as a guest speaker or giving mock interviews. This all helps prepare them for the jobs market. We are keen for you to tell us about programmes that your organisation runs for students.
