| Saphia Akbar- Careers/IAG Manager | |
 |
I undertake the administration of the career related activities, which take place within the Academy. I organise the careers fair, career interviews bookings, trips to colleges and universities. I also co-ordinate the work experience programme for our Post-16 students studying Health and Social Care and Early Years Education (Childcare) courses. I am at QKA on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am always happy to help and support all of our students through their journey in school, into sixth form or moving on to their next step into their career choices. |
| John Nelson – Careers Adviser | |

I am in QKA every Tuesday throughout the academic year. My main role is to offer impartial advice and guidance to students on a one -to -one basis. The interview lasts approximately thirty minutes, which gives the student the chance to explore his/her career ideas and to discuss their aspirations. We talk through the broad Post -16 options, which include staying on at the QKA sixth form, other sixth forms, colleges of further education and modern apprenticeships. We also look at local jobs and I can help with the compilation of CVs. At the conclusion of the interview, together we complete a Careers Action Plan, which summarises the discussion and a copy goes home. Some students may require a follow up interview, which I am happy to do. I also attend parent, pathway guidance and open evenings during the academic year. |
