Careers, Advice and Guidance

Careers Education
At Tameside Alternative Provision Academy, we are committed to providing our students with a programme of careers education. Tailored careers advice and guidance prepares our students for the challenges of adulthood and working life.
We recognise that some students will need more support and guidance than others to help them make aspirational and appropriate career choices. This guidance is given through 1:1 sessions, PSHE lessons, and through direct events and workshops.
When delivering careers education, we ensure that information about learning options and careers advice is presented impartially, and that the advice promotes the best interest of our students.
Our aim...
The aims of outstanding, impartial careers education may be summarised as follows:
  • Empowering young people to plan and manage their own futures
  • Responding to the needs of each learner
  • Providing comprehensive information and advice
  • Raising aspirations
  • Actively promoting equality of opportunity
  • Challenging stereotypes
  • Helping young people to progress
Meet Our Careers Advisor...
Ms Beever is the Careers Advisor from the Local Authority who supports all students across Tameside Alternative Provision Academy.
Students from both White Bridge and Elmbridge receive careers advise and guidance, with independent and impartial information, advice on their future career plans.

Ms Beever is based in school every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

During the school year, pupils will have the opportunity to meet with Ms Beever in one-to-one interviews and small group sessions. Interviews will take place in school, and she can also arrange home visits, if required.

We encourage parents and carers to be part of their child’s future career aspirations and parents are welcome to attend their child’s careers appointments.
