CAREERS GUIDANCE
At Ringwood School we aim to support pupils and parents/carers by providing timely advice and guidance throughout Years 7-13. This support, advice and many opportunities are made possible by our strong relationships with local Colleges, Employers, Training providers and Universities.
Every student has the opportunity for an impartial guidance interview, to explore the range of education or training options – including apprenticeships and other vocational pathways – available whenever significant study or career choices are being made.
Ringwood School has a qualified and impartial Careers Advisor to provide support in making individual future career and study plans. Appointments can be requested by parents or students through the tutor, head of year or emailing the Careers Department on careers@ringwood.hants.sch.uk
LABOUR MARKET INFORMATION (LMI)
It is important for every student, parent and carer to be aware of and make use of Labour Market Information. This can help to prepare students for decisions on future study and potential job sectors. LMI is updated regularly and shows trends and opportunities to support students in a successful future career.
Being on the Hampshire and Dorset borders, it is useful for students to be aware of the LMI in both counties.
