Career Leaders Training Programmes

Developed by Black Country Careers Hub. Here are three resources to support a mainstream setting to audit their careers offer for SEND pupils. Create a SWOT analysis based on the audit, then plan pupil centred interventions to meet the needs of individual pupils.

This short course is designed to highlight how the wider education workforce play a key role in supporting young people to make informed choices about their best next step and potential career pathway. 

When referring to the ‘wider education workforce’ we include those in roles such as pastoral within education and those who support young people through other relationships such as social workers, case workers, youth workers and specialist support.

This course 'Understanding Pathways and Career Opportunities' is designed to support SENCOs and their teams in understanding the role they play in careers education and how they can, through the work they already do, support young people to make informed choices about their best next step and potential career pathway.
