Supporting our students

Today we are living in a rapidly changing world and so preparing our students for the challenges and opportunities out there is a vital aspect of their education. DUTC is committed to developing each individual student with the most up to date research and knowledge as they progress through the different key stages.

A key method of communicating our CEIAG is published in our termly newsletter. See below for links. If you would like more information on this please feel free to contact us direct – Careers@doncasterutc.co.uk

How can you help?

Talk about careers regularly at home – the different jobs you may have had, how you decided on your current career path and what you have learned from all of your combined experiences.
Share your CV and help them in producing their own. Going through the motions of detailing their skills, experiences and qualifications on paper can really help students to see their current development clearly.
Work with your child to look at START profile and discuss their options.
Run through typical interview questions and talk about your own encounters – both good and bad! All of our students take part in a mock interview with a real local employer when they reach Year 10 and Year 12 – a vital but sometimes daunting experience. Learning how to present themselves professionally and keeping a cool head in an interview situation is a valuable skill which will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
There is a wealth of information and guidance available out there, tailored for both students and to yourself as a parent to help walk you through the variety of routes and opportunities possible. See our Resources page for further links.
Attend events such as ODLive and the UCAS Careers Fair for the opportunity to speak in person with employers and further education institutions.
Attend College and University Open Days to explore what different establishments have to offer. Prospectuses are always available but there’s nothing quite like walking around a campus to really get the feel of a place.
Give us feedback! We are always looking to develop and evolve our careers education provision so please do get in contact if you have any comments or suggestions.
Get directly involved yourself! If you work for an employer, or are an employer, who would be willing to support by providing work experience placements, we would love to hear from you. Head over to the Employers page to find out more.
