Careers Provision Programme
Below is a table mapping the CEIAG provision for 2021-2022 however, the impact of Covid 19 has made some changes to the provision currently available therefore this is a condensed version to what is normally offered to our students.

Measuring Impact
A successful careers and guidance programme should be reflected in higher numbers of students progressing into positive destinations (e.g. colleges, universities, apprenticeships or employment). Information on the destinations of students who leave The City of Leicester College at the end of KS4 and KS5 is available in the performance tables published by the Department for Education.
