Students need support through this process and may not have received the University or course of their choice. Reach out to careers advisors; apprenticeship schemes and please note that this year has seen another reduction in A* or A grades to 27.2%, which is almost back to pre-pandemic levels. In my mind strange to bring this level of marking back when these children did not sit their G-CSE's due to the covid pandemic! #classof23

Pathways to Purpose is organized around four themes designed to connect students with post-secondary opportunities including: - Exposing students to colleges, careers and businesses. - Equipping students with soft skills, leadership and financial literacy training. - Empowering students with college and career mentoring, social-emotional support, career and personality assessments and ACT/SAT prep sessions. - Engaging students in internships, job shadowing, apprenticeships and community college events. The goal for each graduating student is that they secure post-secondary placement by enrolling in either college, military, or trade school. By earning a diploma and receiving preparedness training while in high school, students are more likely to earn admittance into post-secondary opportunities and succeed once enrolled. The post-secondary placement rate for Elevate Pathways to Purpose students is 73% higher than the average rate for non-Elevate students. https://lnkd.in/eMvxddYx
