I-College Careers Programme 

I-College is committed to providing students with high-quality careers information, advice and guidance to inspire and support them to be happy and successful in their chosen careers. 

Careers education is an integral part of Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship and Economic Education (PSHCE) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) delivered through teacher-led group sessions, guest presenters, employability workshops, work experience, careers events, employer visits and individual appointments. The DfE Careers Guidance (January ’23) stipulates that secondary age pupils must receive independent careers advice from properly qualified careers professionals. I -College facilitates a broad range of encounters with external careers guidance professionals to ensure young people have up-to-date, unbiased and accurate information. 

Please see KS3, KS4 & KS5 Careers Commitment documents for a range of encounters and events. 

Young people at iCollege are able to access high-quality careers guidance; Careers Leader, Ali Haynes, is a careers adviser (Level 7 qualified). iCollege commission LGCC, who is an independent provider of careers information, advice and guidance. Our dedicated contact is Lorna Glass (Level 4 qualified working towards Level 6). 

Both Ali Haynes and Lorna Glass are members of the Careers Development Institute and are bound by the CDI Code of Ethics when working with young people.
