Chesterfield College Careers Service
The Careers Service at Chesterfield College is available to provide 1-1 guidance and support to all students and apprentices during their studies. We are here to guide them into developing, discovering and maintaining their career aspirations.
What does the Careers Team offer?
We have resources to help all students and apprentices. Students and apprentices will have access to the following whilst they are studying with us.
- Internet access to various careers websites including www.ucas.com and https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/. There are many other websites available and students will be signposted to these based on individual need.
- Information and advice on choosing university courses and the UCAS application process.
- Support with writing CVs, completing application forms and preparing for interviews.
- Support with exploring employment and volunteering opportunities.
- Guidance information about options is open to all students and apprentices before, during and after completing their course.
Your child may be really confused about what they want to do next, and may need to talk it through with one of our careers advisers. To access the service, they can book an appointment by visiting the Student & Apprentice Services Hub or calling/emailing 01246 500500 /careersteam@chesterfield.ac.uk.
Post 18 Options
Chesterfield College encourages all students to think carefully about their post 18 options to help them progress into the next part of their career journey. Students need to be aware of and carefully research the exciting opportunities that are available to them, and also know the entry requirements for all their options including:
- University
- Apprenticeships
- Gap Year
- Employment
It is essential that you, as their parent(s)/guardian(s) support your child on their career journey and the information on this page should support you to be able to do this effectively.
