Careers Vision and CEIAG Aims
At The Archbishop Lanfranc Academy, our Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) programme plays a vital role in preparing our students for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of life. This programme aligns with our Academy Improvement Plan and is underpinned by our core TALA values: Teamwork, Aspirations, Leadership, and Accountability.
We are committed to delivering the best opportunities for our students to achieve their career goals, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our CEIAG programme provides a structured and engaging programme of careers education throughout each student's school journey, with targeted support at key transition points. This is achieved through collaboration with parents, carers, employers, external CEIAG providers, and local organisations, ensuring every student has access to impartial information and expert advice.
By embedding TALA values in our careers provision, we aim to:
- Teamwork: Foster collaboration between students, staff, families, and external partners to support every student's career journey.
- Aspirations: Raise students' ambitions and encourage them to envision and pursue their goals without limits.
- Leadership and Accountability: Empower students to take ownership of their futures, developing the confidence and skills needed for personal and professional growth.
Our CEIAG programme supports students in successfully transitioning to the next stages of their lives by:
- Empowering them to plan and manage their own futures.
- Providing comprehensive and impartial information on all pathways and options.
- Promoting equality, diversity, social mobility, and challenging stereotypes.
- Enabling them to sustain employability and achieve personal and economic well-being.
Together, through teamwork, aspirations, leadership, and accountability, we ensure that every student at The Archbishop Lanfranc Academy is fully supported to reach their potential and achieve lifelong success.
