Greater Lincolnshire Careers Hub

“Our role is to ensure schools in our locality are fully equipped to deliver high quality careers provision to their students. We wanted to help facilitate the CEC training for different trusts, at one time, and in one location.

“In our initial meeting, I felt that the team really listened to our requirements and explained how they would deliver the sessions.

“We wanted the training to be face-to-face, and were happy Career Connect was able to deliver it in that format. The organisation was very good, and they were able to work quickly to meet our needs. We had great communication throughout.

“Delivering the Careers Leaders Training to a whole group of schools at once, within our local area, has served as a model for the way we want to go forward. It helped us to achieve more impact, by supporting more careers leaders to complete the qualification and begin implementing their learning sooner.”

“I was new to the Careers Leader role. I really enjoyed the face-to-face aspect; it allowed me to meet different kinds of people, find out where they were in their careers training, and bounce ideas off each other.

“Learning about best practice in work experience in the course content and from other learners was also very useful, as this is something I would like to explore. I also built good links with people that continued after the course finished. We often email each other to ask questions, share ideas and best practice.

“Being adaptable to different learning styles is important in my role, and this was something that the course covered well; I’ll be implementing this into our careers programme.”

“My assessor Andrea is amazing – if I email her, she is always quick to be back in touch and will jump on a Teams call at any time to help. She has a great style and will ask you questions that will lead you to the right answers. She’s there to support you but also help you progress.”
