Our Ethos
At Lister Community School we firmly believe that effective careers guidance significantly contributes to raising aspirations, improving life chances, increasing motivation, and overcoming barriers to success. We are committed to delivering a high quality CEIAG programme that empowers our students to make informed decisions about their futures.
Our Aims
The Lister Careers Programme provides the opportunity for students’ in Years 7-11 to:
– Develop self-awareness (a greater understanding of their strengths, current limitations, personal qualities, interests and values).
– Learn about opportunities (engage in career exploration of the local, regional, national, and international education, training and employment opportunities. Participating in work experience and work-related learning; increasing exposure to a range of life-long learning and career opportunities to support pupils to make effective decisions about their future). 
– Develop decision-making skills (understand and evaluate the pros and cons of the options available to them and take responsibility for decision making).

September 2020 Update:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and current government regulations, our career programme will be operating differently this year. We will adapt our approach to ensure that students still receive the information, advice and guidance that they need, while making sure that we are following the latest DfE guidance about staying safe in schools.
