In addition to our normal career activities, this week we are championing the apprenticeship route into careers for young people, with a focus in tutor session on MS Teams for all students.  Our careers advisor, Mr McArdle, offers guidance and advice sessions for Year 11, to ensure all students have a clear plan for their post 16 routes.

Apprenticeships offer an amazing opportunity for young people to gain qualifications and experience working with an employer and a local training provider.  Students who have moved into apprenticeships since leaving Park Vale Academy have reported that they love being part of a team, and that learning whilst on the job has brought them incredible insight into the knowledge and skills required to be successful in their chosen careers.
