Against the recent background of criticism of schools careers provision as being ‘patchy and inconsistent’, Somerset College stands out from the crowd with their own dedicated and qualified careers advisers.
Information, Advice and Guidance Team members meet the Matrix Quality Standard and the College is an accredited organisation. The matrix Standard is the national quality standard for any organisation that delivers information, advice and/or guidance on learning and work.
Tim Yeandle, Director of Student Services said: ‘Somerset College offers top quality advice and guidance by making it an integral part of a student’s experience here at the College. We make sure that students receive careers advice as well as talk about how they are doing with their grades. Both issues are of paramount importance to our students and to the College.’
