National Careers Week 2016 2016 Digital Magazine | Page 4

What Is National Careers Week? During National Careers Week it is up to every school, academy and college to offer careers advice and guidance to their students. We are here to help and can provide free resources, information on current career opportunities and advice on activities and exercises to run. National Careers Week (NCW) is a celebration of careers guidance and free resources in education across the UK. The aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance activity at an important stage in the academic calendar to help support young people leaving education. Last year services provided to students during National Careers Week included daily drop-in workshops; careers fairs; employer visits; focus on subject relevant to careers in lessons and showing careers films. Careers Week encourages education providers to bring together students, local employers and advisers through careers events and activities. At a time of high youth unemployment there has never been a bigger need for careers guidance to be promoted and celebrated in education. National Careers Week is your platform to advise and inspire our next generation as they enter the world of work. RBS are the sponsors for NCW2016, providing a fantastic fully equipped Careers Tour Bus which will be visiting London, Bristol, Manchester, Hull and Nuneaton during the week. With over 300 RBS Apprentices going back to school to provide personal insights into the world of work, NCW2016 is going to have a massive positive impact. Kate Llewellyn-Cripps of RBS Early Careers stated: “RBS Group are delighted to be the Lead Sponsor for National Careers Week 2016, helping to improve the life choices of so many across the UK” AL N O I T A N EERS CAREK 2016 WE RT I N PA NERS ITH HIP W 04
