National Careers Week 2021

National Careers Week (NCW) is an annual event that focuses on providing careers guidance to young people leaving education, and adult learners looking to move their career forward, by supporting them to assess their future career opportunities.

This year, NCW takes place from 1^st to 6^th March. The week-long event is timed to coincide with a key period in the academic year where young people are starting to think about their GCSE options and consider the next steps in their education

As you approach the next stage on your journey, you will need to consider what is the best option for you moving forward, whether that be higher education, an apprenticeship or employment. All of these options will eventually lead you to your chosen career so making the right choices is essential. NCW is designed to help you make informed decisions about your future.

At CRC we are committed to providing our learners with high-quality, free Careers Information and Guidance to empower them to make the right choices. Throughout the week we will be offering a range of NCW Activities to support your decision making, which includes.

Careers Presentation

Ideal for students in Key Stage 3, our Careers Advisor will be talking through some of the career options that are available to young people after they have studied a course with us. 

Careers Interviews

We will be releasing a series of Careers Interviews that we have carried out with Alumni Students, Employers that we work with and our Tutors, who have vast industry experience. These interviews will help you find out what it is like to work in different industries and give you some tips as to how to progress into that industry.

Career Maps

We offer a fantastic range of vocational courses and apprenticeship programmes and with so many choices available, we have pulled together some great resources to help you map out your career path.

Employability advice

Throughout the week, we will be delivering two online webinars for adults, which parents are welcome to attend. The first is looking at Top Tips for CV writing and Top Tips for a Successful Online Interview. We are running two webinars a day throughout the week, one in the morning and one in the evening, so that there is an opportunity for everyone to attend.
