Parent and Carers information

“80.75% of students say their parents help them to make key careers decisions”

This section of Ormiston Horizon Academy’s website is aimed at helping parents and carers source information to help support young people in their future decisions. Below you will find three helpful sections; information about education options, types of jobs and local opportunities.

OHA Student Careers Pack

Education options

There are a variety of educational routes available to students when they leave Ormiston Horizon Academy. Click the links below to find out more:

Careers information, advice and guidance

In Year 9, Careers Information, Advice and Guidance meetings are focused on ensuring students make the right Post-14 option choices in line with their chosen career.

In Year 11, Careers Information, Advice and Guidance meetings are focused on ensuring students make the right Post-16 option choices in line with their chosen career.

If you would like to request a Careers meeting for your child, please contact: [email protected]

Types of jobs

Students who have a vision of where they want to be in the future may find it easier to plan their next steps more easily. To help students and parents to get an idea of what types of jobs are out there we would suggest looking at a number of these websites:

Local opportunities

With developments in technology, there are now numerous jobs that did not exist 10 years ago (https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/jobs-that-didnt-exist-15-years-ago/). It is important to keep up to date with what is happening locally, nationally and internationally.

In regard to local opportunities in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire please have a read of the latest Labour Market Information – January-March 2020
