Our dedicated careers team are here to provide you with advice on apprenticeships, UCAS applications, your future career, CV writing, interviews and job searching, and can talk you through your options with one-on-one or group support sessions.
We also regularly arrange for guest speakers with a wealth of industry experience to visit campus and share their knowledge with you, and we hold careers fairs on campus too, so you can learn more about potential destinations and opportunities in different fields.

Careers meetings are conducted by qualified careers advisors. Contact us to make an appointment via email – careers@reaseheath.ac.uk.
The Careers office is situated in Jodrell Hall opposite student services.
We have Matrix accreditation for the quality of IAG we deliver, and each year we have a Continuous Improvement Check with the Matrix assessor to scrutinse the impact of the careers programme. We also have support from the Careers and Enterprise Company via Compass evaluations, where we analyse the detail of the programme and its objectives. We also use a company called Think Alumni to conduct our external destination data gathering exercise, and they provide us with a detailed report on where our learners have ended up after completion of their FE course. This helps us understand how well we have helped to prepare students for their next steps. We also know that nearly all students undertake work placements and this forms part of our programme, e.g. placement prep, finding employers, setting goals. We also have the Pulse survey and student intended destinations so we can understand how students feel the careers programme is helping to prepare them for their future plans, and the intended destinations data helps us to target students who may be a little unsure on what they would like to do after Reaseheath.
