Careers

Careers Education is an integral part of Personal, Social and Health Education and tutor periods. Lilian Baylis Technology School works with Connexions and the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, to provide careers education and opportunities for all students. The programme includes:

• A 6 week unit of work for every student each year
• Y9: Students are supported in choosing their option subjects for Y10 so that they compliment any career they might choose to follow in the future.
• Y9/10/11: Careers talks, careers interviews and a careers fair
• Y11: Students are supported in applying for places at College or on a Modern Apprenticeship as well as visiting local Colleges, Universities and work places
• A number of business immersion events when students work in teams to solve real problems set by real companies. These events last for 1 – 5 days and are often held in businesses. This means that our students realise what is expected of them when they start work and what they should aim for.

Work experience is compulsory for all students in year ten. The programme is arranged in partnership with the Borough of Lambeth and the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists and involves placements in a variety of workplaces throughout Lambeth and the City of London. The school was recently awarded ‘Investors in Careers’ in recognition of the excellent careers programme at Lilian Baylis.
