Careers Education in Secondary Schools

‘A PERSONALISED PATHWAY FOR ALL’

OUR VISION AT ORION EDUCATION IS TO OFFER MEANINGFUL AND PERSONALISED OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL OUR STUDENTS, ENABLING THEM TO CULTIVATE AMBITIOUS ASPIRATIONS AND MAKE WELL-INFORMED DECISIONS TOWARDS ACHIEVING THEIR FUTURE GOALS.

Our primary goal is to empower all our secondary students with the necessary employability skills and insights into various career opportunities and further study, or training within specialised fields. We understand that each student is unique, so our offerings are tailored to cater to their age, abilities, and educational needs.

We recognise that many young people may not have a clear career path in mind. To assist them in making informed decisions, we organise a wide range of events which are designed to highlight the connections between their current studies and potential careers.

STEM events
HE/FE Fairs
Internal/ external competitions
Subject-specific workshops led by employers
HE and FE visits

To support all our students’ exploration of careers options, each of them is provided with a personalised Unifrog account, which allows them to explore their interests, learn about various careers, access labour market information, and discover up-to-date information on courses and training programmes.

We are proud to base our careers programme on the Eight Gatsby Benchmarks, ensuring that our provision is in line with the highest standards of careers education and guidance.
