Careers Education
What is Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG)?
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance programmes make a major contribution in preparing young people for opportunities, responsibilities and experience of life. They help young people make decisions and manage transitions as learners and workers. It is vital that all 11-16 year olds have the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices. We strive at all times to conform to the current “best practices” in Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance laid down by the government.
At Ellis Guilford, we ensure all young people have a secure understanding of all career paths available to them. We support pupils to think about their futures from their first day with us and support them to make key decisions throughout their time at school and beyond.
We are supported by a number of key relationships such as a long-standing partnership with the ThinkForward charity, and our in-house coach John Adcock as well as with the EMCCA and our Enterprise Co-ordinator, Rachel Blake. We also work closely with our Enterprise Advisor from EON, to evaluate and support our provision through the eyes of a prospective employer.
Ellis Guilford School is committed to providing a planned programme of CEIAG for all students in Years 7-11, in partnership with outside agencies. The careers programme is continually assessed and monitored in line with whole-school quality assurance procedures, to ensure it is meeting the statutory requirements for careers education and guidance.

- Colleges
- Sixth Forms
- Academies
- Apprenticeships
- Traineeships
