Aldenham Careers Programme

At Aldenham we are committed to providing our students with invaluable, unbiased and
robust careers education and guidance.

The Careers Programme

Our primary aim is to empower students to make informed and independent choices that will enhance thier life prospects and lead them towards pathways aligned with their aspirations and potential.

Through carefully crafted activities and lessons, we instil independence and reflection in our students, helping them to understand the transformative impact of education on their future careers. We aim to open their eyes to the possibilities open to them with their qualifications going forwards, but also with the key personal skills of initiative, resourcefulness and entrerpreneurship.
