Information Advice and Guidance (IAG)

Welcome to the Carmel IAG website offering the Information, Advice and Guidance needed to help you make the right decisions about your future once you leave Carmel.

If you are unsure whether you want to continue in to Higher Education or explore opportunities in Work Based Learning or employment please arrange to see Mr Madeley, Mrs Dixon or your Form Tutor who will be most helpful in starting you off on the decision making process.

If you have absolutely no idea what you want to do, you could arrange an interview with Mr Mark Corcoran a Connexions Adviser who visits the College on a weekly basis (please make an appointment to see him at our main College Office).

If you are interested in researching career opportunities then you could start by looking here, here or here.

We work closely with the Connexions Service and together we ensure that careers guidance and IAG is available to you and is offered in a manner appropriate to your individual needs. Please make an appointment with the office to arrange an interview with the Connexions advisor.

We have developed a programme of events throughout the year to help you prepare applications to University or other Higher  Education establishments. At Carmel we are experienced in providing quality references in support of applications to university or for jobs and we ensure that you will receive the help needed to write strong, successful applications.

 

 

Changing Subjects

If you wish to change a subject, you must first speak to the subject teachers concerned then your tutor, the Director or Assistant Director of the Sixth Form and the Vice Principal in charge of the Curriculum (Mrs Jasper). A form for changing subjects must be obtained, completed and returned to Mrs Jasper. You must continue to attend lessons until such a time as the form has been completed.
