Next steps & Work Experience - Post-18 guidance

Hayes School is committed to promoting high quality careers education and guidance as an integral part of every student’s education. Whether you are planning to progress to university or into employment, apprenticeships or training, we hope that the information and links below will provide you with useful resources, advice and guidance and suggestions on how you can prepare for and keep in touch with your learning.

A planned programme of activities will help students choose 14-19 pathways that are appropriate for them and to gain the basic knowledge and skills to begin to navigate their way successfully through career choices and changes and sustain employability throughout their lives. Working in conjunction with teachers, Careers Bromley, independent and impartial careers advisers, parents, representatives from local industry and other partners, the school aims to give all students in Years 7 to 13 access to careers information, work experience and impartial guidance.
