Read School Sixth Form students benefit from a Careers Mentoring programme which supports them throughout Year 12 & 13
In the Lower Sixth, students complete a Careers Questionaire and receive a personalised assessment which provides a snapshot of individual aspirations and working preferences.
An annual Careers Fair organised by the Business Studies department offers Sixth Formers a taste of potential careers in a range of industries including finance, law, architecture, web design, logistics, construction, dentistry and agricultural engineering. Over 30 companies participate in this popular school event.
