CTK Careers Week 2025

CTK Careers Week runs from the 27th – 31st January!

Careers week gives students the opportunity to find out about different careers and how they relate to different subjects. Students might already know about some job roles, but this week ensures they can have a wider understanding about a variety of career options.

Students have until the 23rd January to sign up for a lunchtime talk, and can let their Form Tutor know which one they would like to attend.

During lessons, students will also have the opportunity to watch Careers videos based on that subject. Students will learn what the role is, qualifications needed, salaries and routes into that position.
