You're Hired

At OMERA students have access to a wide range of career-based activities that make up our World of Work programme. We provide dedicated and personalised provision to students who require additional support when making and realising their future career aspirations. 

Students take part in weekly sessions dedicated to ‘You’re Hired’. During these sessions’ developing a clear understanding of the world of employment. Sessions develop a number of essential soft skills enabling students to achieve their own personal aspirations and goals. Students are taught about potential career pathways. 

We actively work with a number of local further education providers and employers. These links enable us to support students beyond their time at OMERA, ensuring that they are successful in their future ambitions.

We provide in-depth knowledge regarding the vast range of opportunities and experiences that are available to them as young adults: further education, university, apprenticeships and ultimately employment.

Our Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) starts during the Transition at Year 6 and is taught in every year group through PSHE and in all subjects. Impartial careers support is provided from the academy’s level 6 trained careers advisor.
