This offer is accessible to all education leavers in Summer 2024.
The Department's Careers Advisers, Andy McKinley and Helen Hillier, are available to support of education leavers receiving their results over the Summer. There are drop in sessions available at UCM and the Job Centre as well as bookable appointments via email or phone with the Careers Team in Ramsey, Peel or Port Erin. Please see details below:
The aims of this framework are:
- to support the Island’s commitment to life long learning from when children start Primary school into, and through, adulthood.
- to support schools and UCM in delivering key aspects of employability and careers education that will enable learners at different stages and ages to make informed choices about the next steps in their learning and lives.
It is based on 4 key principles:
1. Learner focused but supportive of wider systems
2. Incorporates a golden thread of unifying ‘Lifelong Learning Skills Language’
3. Grows individual’s awareness of self and opportunity
4. Supports access to an entitlement offer around Employability and Careers education for all learners
Please note that the above captures Island, not individual school, provision and is subject to ongoing changes and development work across schools and UCM.
