At Cowes Sixth Form we recognise that getting excellent qualifications goes way beyond lesson time, it is about hands-on experience too.

By undertaking extensive careers education and advice, dynamic work experience opportunities and forging network links with local business and enterprise, you can develop skills in the workplace alongside your learning.

We ensure you are fully informed by providing independent careers advice through our close relationships with independent careers services and university networks.  

With us, your bespoke work placements run within our timetable, with, for instance, our medical students having weekly placements at hospitals during the school day. Many students choose a workplace experience aligned to their course options while others try out a completely new working environment.

Whether you come back confident that you know where you are headed, or full of questions over what your future might hold, you will receive the guidance you need at every stage from our Careers Leadership Team.
