At Unity Academy, we are deeply committed to providing your child with comprehensive careers advice and guidance. We believe that the journey to a fulfilling and successful future starts here, and our role is to ensure that each student has the knowledge and skills needed to explore their aspirations without limits.

Our careers program is designed to empower students to achieve their fullest potential, whether it’s through understanding opportunities in higher education (HE), further education (FE), exploring apprenticeship pathways, or understanding the local labour market, our focus is on making sure every student knows their options and feels confident in their choices. We value the vital role that parents and carers play in this process. By working together, we can support your child in making informed and aspirational career decisions.

 

The following resources are there to support you in understanding our Careers Programme at Unity Academy, alongside providing access to a range of external career resources that can help your child make informed career choices.
