How can I support my child with their Career decisions? We would encourage all Parents and Carers to engage with the latest labour market information in our region, through the Liverpool City Region website. This provides you with information such as job roles and descriptions, average salary ranges and whether demand for job types, in our local area, is expected to grow or decline. This may help you to discuss career paths, with your child. How will parents know what Career Events are taking place at College@Deyes? There is a range of careers events that take place throughout the academic year from Careers Fairs, Employer networking events and drop-down days. You will be informed of these in advance via the Sixth Form Parent Bulletin, sent every Friday on Synergy. Who is your Careers Advisor? How can I get in contact with them? Our Careers Advisor is Mrs Dainton King, and all our pupils are entitled to 1:1 career advice during their time at College@Deyes. Our Careers Team is based in the Sixth Form building and our students can access her whenever they need support. Mrs Dainton King will have contact with all College@Deyes students over the academic year, either through Work Experience, Career Events or through offering group sessions for career advice and support. If you would like an appointment with Mrs Dainton King – either for an individual pupil at school or together as a family, please contact her via email - L.King@deyeshigh.co.uk
