Stevenson wants all of its students to realise their full potential by moving onto the right career or course - either whilst still at College or after you have left.
- Planning your career can take time and is a process that often requires you to work through some issues.
- The College provides a number of resources which will guide you through this process.
- Your Personal Tutor will help find the next and most appropriate step for you. They will spend tutorial time looking at the best opportunities for you, discuss decisions you may need to take and help with any application forms you will need to fill in.
Careers Scotland
In addition Careers Scotland provides a service to College students. The Careers Scotland website is the ideal starting point and the College Careers Adviser recommends that students should first use this for all stages of their career planning.
The Careers Scotland website has five main sections which cover:
- Which career - looks at how you can successfully choose the right career for you.
- Research your career - allows you to investigate job options in more detail.
- How to apply - CVs and application forms.
- Interview skills - preparing for job and university interviews.
- Develop your career - looking at promotion and career change.
