TPLT Careers Convention 2021

Hello there,

As promised, please find linked below some useful resources to help Year 11 students explore their next steps beyond school.

  1. The Careers Convention PowerPoint

    Please download this and view as a PowerPoint slideshow. We have included lots of links and resources. Please download only as some links will not work when using google slides!

  2. The October Careers Bulletin

    Full of online assembly information and virtual events for students to explore with their families.

  3. A copy of our brief guide to options beyond school

Here is a link to our parent information film so you can learn more about types of qualifications and what to do next: https://www.loom.com/share/95da1de0accc43de81063e06c66e5602?utm_medium=gif

Next steps:

  • Straight after half term, Miss Silmon and I will begin to see every Year 11 student for a 121 to talk about their plans and ideas. Appointment slots will be distributed by tutors

  • We will have time for a second appointment before Christmas if students need a little extra help

  • Each student will receive an action plan and a bag of prospectuses from local colleges and their record of achievement to help them store interview information, certificates etc. please keep these safe… we will not have any spares!

Points to note:

  • Applications will need to be done online this year. We do not recommend using phones

  • The sixth forms would like applications in by Christmas

  • Colleges are a little more flexible but would like applications in sooner rather than later

  • When applying, please do not use student Email addresses as a means of contact. The school spam filter may not allow Emails with interview information through!

  • Attend your interview at the agreed time…most likely a phone conversation

  • Don’t forget that you can apply for several courses with different colleges and sixth forms and make your final mind up later in the summer

  • It is the student’s and the family’s responsibility to complete and submit college and sixth form applications…we cannot do it for you this year

Thanks everyone and good luck!
