Careers Programme at St Wilfrid’s RC College
At St Wilfrid’s, we are committed to helping pupils explore their future career options. Careers education is delivered through our PSHE programme, ensuring all pupils from Years 7–11 receive guidance on making informed choices about their future. Sixth Form students also receive tailored career support at key points throughout the year.

- Work Experience: Year 10 and Year 12 pupils complete a one-week placement to gain real-world experience and develop employability skills.
- Post-16 & Post-18 Pathways: Information on college open evenings, apprenticeships, and career events is shared via Teams, school notice boards, and social media.
- Employer & University Links: We invite companies, universities, and mentoring programmes into school to provide insights and opportunities. Sixth Form students also receive training on CV writing, interview techniques, and skills development.
