Careers
At Wey Valley College we are committed to providing all students with meaningful and appropriate Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) regarding education pathways at post 16, apprenticeships and careers. IAG is delivered through the curriculum and in 1:1 session. Assistance is given to students in applying for post 16 pathways. This support is extended once students have left at the end of Year 11 to ensure a smooth transition.
Our Careers Pathways are managed by student mentors at Wey Valley College.
