We are proud of the careers programme we offer here at NES, which is designed to meet the 8 Gatsby benchmarks. Students at Nottingham Emmanuel Sixth Form are provided with a wealth of university, careers and apprenticeship support throughout their Sixth Form journey.
Employer Encounters
Sixth Form students have frequent encounters with employers through careers fairs, workplace visits, workshops and in-person and virtual work experience opportunities which are regularly promoted to students. Previous work place visits include Boots Headquarters, Browne Jacobson, and Experian.
Apprenticeships
The Sixth Form work closely with “Amazing Apprenticeships”, who visit our students throughout the academic year to deliver apprenticeship assemblies and workshops. We are also proud to partake in National Apprenticeships Week, where students can discover the benefits of apprenticeships and participate in apprenticeship masterclasses and live Q+As with apprenticeship providers and current apprentices.
Super-Curricular Activities
Students are actively encouraged to engage in the super-curricular opportunities that are regularly promoted to them including university summer schools, subject taster lectures, the National Citizenship Service and outreach programmes such as HE+ and Ambition Nottingham to help raise their aspirations and support their future university and apprenticeship applications. Students also have the opportunity to complete an Extended Project Qualification during Year 12 which is highly respected by universities and employers.
