Careers and Apprenticeships

Oaklands Sixth Form is here to supports students in their career journey, whichever direction they choose.

There are a number of evening events where students and families can access information on apprenticeship and the UCAS process.

All students are encouraged to gain some form of work experience. Many students take advantage of enrichment time on Wednesday afternoon to do this.

Employers also engage with students by visiting the college to talk about careers opportunities. Students further develop careers skills looking at how to complete covering letters, apply for part-time work and complete a CV.

There are lots of extra-curricular activities that allow students to develop their careers and enterprise knowledge and skills.

Careers, advice and guidance appointments with a professional careers adviser from Hampshire Futures are available in Sixth Form every Friday. Please see reception to make an appointment.
