Careers Enrichment and Engagement

Welcome to Roundhay School’s Careers Enrichment and Engagement (CEE) Team.

Working within the GATSBY Benchmarks, we are committed to giving quality impartial information, advice and guidance to all students by educating them on future opportunities and potential career paths based on their individual needs.

Students are encouraged to recognise and embrace their own distinct set of characteristics, skills and knowledge through a variety of interventions and careers tools. We equip students to make informed choices about their next steps. For instance, by researching and exploring different career sectors, the roles available and the necessary qualifications required. We give students key information and advice about progression routes, apprenticeships, and further and higher education providers.

We deliver a varied programme of careers education embedded into the curriculum. By design, all our activities allow students to develop self-awareness and employability skills whilst enhancing their knowledge of the world of work. We also deliver various employer engagement events and workshops across all year groups. All students receive post-16 and post-18 options information and engage with the START careers platform to support their journey, learn about the current labour market and research progression routes.

Employer engagement typically focuses upon:

1. Developing employability and transferrable skills in response to the demands of the local and global economy.
2. Creating opportunities for skill development- typically through collaborative employer partnership arrangements.
3. Creating enterprise and innovation opportunities through a variety of partnerships.

We support students to become valuable members of society who are respectful, resilient and always ready to learn.
