CAREERS, HE & EMPLOYABILITY

Social Mobility Foundation Programme The Social Mobility Foundation is a charitable organisation which carries out research and provides support for social mobility for students from low income backgrounds. They offer the   'Aspiring Partners Programme' (APP)   for students in year 12 to receive support with their career path/university application and continue to support you whilst at university. They provide support with: Mentoring by a professional via email Tailored skills sessions and career workshops University application support and guidance Internships with top employers These opportunities continue whilst you are at university also, so its a great opportunity to network and improve your employability skills for when you graduate. It will be something interesting to add to your C.V.  We have had students complete this before and it has really opened up a lot of   opportunities  for them in the future with employers. These are the care

RSM Insight Evening RSM are offering an insight evening to students and parents to find out about the A Level Leaver programmes they offer. RSM are based in Leeds and offer a number of apprenticeship opportunities in business and finance and we have had a number of our students be very successful with them in the past.  http://bit.ly/2Ou6OXr  

The Sutton Trust run a series of programmes, including one called Pathways to Medicine.  For our area, this is run at the Hull York Medical School, see the following link:  https://www.hyms.ac.uk/about/information-for-schools/pathways-to-medicine If you look on the website, it says that you have to attend a school/college in certain local authority areas, I have spoken to someone from the scheme and they have told me that students from our college CAN still apply.    You must just be very aware that you need to be able to get to York or Hull Universities as sessions run at both and you must be able to get to placements around the Hull/York area, they do sometimes have placements in Selby or Goole though which could suit some of our students.  It is competitive and gets oversubscribed so, if you are interested and fit the criteria , apply asap!

Jaguar/Landrover Degree Apprenticeships Jaguar/Landrover are currently recruiting for degree apprentices in Digital and Technology Solutions for  Data Analysts, Software and Network Engineers. This will involve working in a number of different departments and studying for your degree at the University Of Warwick (the vacancy is in the East Midlands so you would need to be prepared to relocate). Follow the link for more information, entry requirements etc.  This opportunity will be very competitive but will be an excellent opportunity for someone to progress quickly and train to a very high standard. https://www.jaguarlandrovercareers.com/job/Coventry-Digital-and-Technology-Solutions-Degree-Apprenticeship-Data-Analyst-Pathway/557691601/?utm_source=ratemyplacement&utm_campaign=Apprentice 2020
