Employers & Training Providers
In order to support our vision of helping our students find their purpose, we need the support of both the public and private sectors. The careers programme is the bridge between education and employment. Therefore our students need to understand, what skills and qualifications are required to be successful in the work place.
There are a number of ways you can engage with us at Archbishop Blanch. (The below table details how.)
For more information or to arrange a meeting, please call school or contact Helen Rimmer rimmerh@blanch.org.uk or Antony Stagg via email on antony@kareers.co.uk.

| Meet the Professional Careers talks All Year Groups | Meet the Professional talks are designed to inspire & inform a class of 20+ students or a whole school year group during an assembly. The aim is to open student’s eyes to the different professions available, the different pathways to reach their destinations, day to day job roles, work life balance, challenges and progression. |
| Careers Fairs | We want to expose our students to as many careers as possible, so they can make better, more informed choices in the future. This event takes place during the school day and students would visit all stands in their form groups, ensuring your time is utilised effectively. We would like to discuss your business & its opportunities. Whether that be apprenticeships, technical qualifications or career paths. |
| Careers Visit Year 10 & 12 | We would like groups of 15 students who are interested in a specific career path, to be able to visit your work place (with a member of our teaching staff). The purpose is to inspire & expose students to different working environments, day to day practice, and employer engagement. Students will gain an understanding of professional personal qualities in order to succeed. |
| Mock Interviews Year 12/13 | To prepare Year 12/13 students for interviews. You will interview 5 students for approx. 30 minutes. The first part of the interview will discuss their CV and the second part consists of a mock interview. We want to this to be as real as possible, to give them an understanding of what they could expect in a real interview. |
| Year 12 Industry day | We run 1 hour workshops that Year 12 students can sign up to. In these workshops we would like you to talk about your profession and set our students a task that they have to complete individually or in a group. The aim is to give pupils industry based task experience, working to deadlines and achieving goals in a set amount of time. |
| Work Experience Year 12 |
Every Year 12 (sixth form students) aged 17 must complete 5 days of work experience. It is important for our students to gain access to quality work placements.
