Orchard Hill College’s Head of College for Hillingdon, David Pells and members of his team recently attended a careers event at Arbour Vale School, aimed at supporting students and parents to plan their next steps after school.
The event focused on life beyond school, giving families the opportunity to explore further education and employment pathways and ask practical questions about progression, independence and preparation for adulthood.
During the event, the team spoke with parents and students about the range of courses available at Orchard Hill College, including:
- Foundation Skills for Life
- Skills for Work and Living
- WorkStart, including Supported Internships
Discussions centred on helping students identify the right pathway based on their interests, strengths and longer-term goals, with a strong focus on building confidence, independence and work-ready skills.
Taking part in events like this helps ensure students and families have clear, joined-up information and support to make informed decisions about their future.
