Schools Liaison Team
Schools Liaison Team
Working closely with schools, sixth forms, academies, alternative provision, local authorities and IAG providers across Greater Manchester and beyond, our School Liaison Team helps to support careers advisors, teachers and senior school leaders in delivering the most useful and relevant information, advice and guidance to students from Year 8 through to Year 13.
Our mission is to assist education and IAG providers to offer the very best information and advice to young people about their future prospects. Through a range of workshops, presentations, tours, bespoke sessions and drop in events, our team can visit your school, work closely with your staff, and give extremely helpful, impartial advice to all of your pupils who will be thinking about what to do when they leave school. We can also help schools and sixth forms meet some of their key Gatsby benchmarks through some of these sessions.
Through our exciting new Industry Excellence Academies and Centres of Excellence, we offer a wide range of vocational, professional and technical qualifications that will help pupils take the steps they need to enter these exciting careers. In September 2021 we became an official provider of the new T Levels within Childcare & Education, Digital, Construction, and Health & Science. Expanding our offer in September 2022 to cover Business Management & Finance, and Engineering & Manufacturing, and from September 2023, Craft & Design, Hair & Beauty, Hospitality & Catering, and Media, Broadcast & Production.
We are extremely excited about being in our second year of delivery for our T Level offer and believe they will help build the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace environment through a combination of classroom theory, practical learning and industry placement. Our team are very knowledgeable on the new T Levels and associated transition to T Level courses and are happy to support schools to build their knowledge around them.
We run events at schools around the region as well as on our campuses at The Manchester College. We can help enhance and support your own activities and sessions on career and education planning, or we can run our own well-established programmes, taking the hassle and stress off your shoulders.
Our sessions can be delivered ‘live’ in school or virtually, we also have a range of pre-recorded sessions available upon request.
