Careers Guidance

At Crown Vocational Training, we’re dedicated to helping you build a successful future. We provide quality careers advice to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about your career path.

Our goal is to ensure that every learner progresses toward a sustainable and aspirational future, whether that involves further education or meaningful employment. This is a core part of our mission to making a difference through learning.

To achieve this, we have a clear policy that outlines our approach to careers support. It details our objectives, responsibilities, and the procedures we follow to make sure you receive comprehensive guidance. We aim to create a supportive environment where you can effectively identify and pursue your aspirations.

A ‘job for life’ is no longer an option for most of us in today’s fast changing economic climate. There are so many new opportunities presenting themselves at many stages throughout our working lives.

Careers guidance is applicable to us all, at any age, as we develop transferrable skills with each job role. With some advice and guidance, and sometimes just a point in the right direction, we can find a career which matches our personality and aspirations.

You can search the National Careers Service for information on a whole range of job roles with expected earning potential and alternative career choices

Our staff can help you identify transferrable skills you have acquired and help you explore options which may suit you. Whether you are a school leaver overwhelmed with the choice and options available to you after GCSEs, or you are unsure of your current prospects, there are numerous toolkits available online which will help you to explore potential careers, for example:
