Year of Planning

To help schools and colleges get their Career Academy started, Career Academies UK provides a dedicated training programme for management teams. A Year of Planning programme, including national and regional training and 1:1 meetings, takes a team through the process of developing an appropriate curriculum offer, building the Local Advisory Board and putting the necessary administrative processes in place.

Successful completion of the Year of Planning leads to a school or college being able to affiliate to Career Academies UK, use our marketing resources and display our brand identity on letterheads, prospectuses and other materials.

Once students have been admitted to the Career Academy, a Year of Implementation programme provides detailed training in the delivery of mentoring, internship and other employer engagement activities, timed to ensure effective operation.
