The Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance provision (CEIAG) at The Forest High School aims to support students in making informed choices about their next stage of education, employment and training.
Students should leave school with the necessary skills, knowledge and self-awareness needed to prepare them for all opportunities outside of school so they can transition successfully with long lasting career management skills.
For further information on how careers advice is integrated into our curriculum, please see our Careers policy.
