Careers Information, 
Advice & Guidance (CIAG)

Students need to prepare themselves for a lifelong career that may include periods in employment, training, full-time or part-time study and self-employment.  Many of the jobs and business opportunities that will be open to them in the future do not even exist yet!  Help your child to prepare for their future by:

• Being aware of their own preferences and skills and also what they are not keen on (Self-Awareness).
• Understanding where to find information now and in the future about careers that might suit them (Career Exploration).
• Understanding the relevant training and qualifications required to get them where they want to be.

In keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next step after school, we will now be using Unifrog, an award-winning, online careers platform. All students from Years 7 to 13 now have access to this excellent website.

We have set up a parent login so that you can use Unifrog as if you were a student yourself, allowing you to truly support your child. The form code you need is: PHGSPARENTS50 (case sensitive) and you can sign up here: www.unifrog.org/code

Additionally, you may also find the following pages useful in the planning of their future and helping them to achieve their goals and aspirations.
