1. A stable careers programme
2. Learning from career and labour market information
3. Addressing the needs of each pupil
4. Linking curriculum learning to careers
5. Encounters with employers and employees
6. Experiences of workplaces
7. Encounters with further and higher education
8. Personal guidance

Careers Information Advice and Guidance is a vital part of the education of our pupils here at Co-op Academy Leeds. We are committed to delivering a full Careers Programme to fulfil the Government’s Careers Strategy.

We are providing the students of Co-op Academy Leeds with access to advice and guidance at key transition points in their career planning and throughout their time at school, embedding the careers curriculum across all years and in partnership with key stakeholders, such as colleges, universities, employers and enterprise advisers.
