The Careers Department at Invicta Grammar School
Invicta Grammar School's Careers offering is a comprehensive program aimed at preparing students for their future endeavors. Beginning in Year 7, students are introduced to the world of work through various leadership programs including our Aspire Program. In Year 8, the focus shifts to supporting students as they make their GCSE choices, with PSHE lessons and the GCSE Options Evening offering guidance. Throughout Years 9 and 10, students gain insight into working life and university study, culminating in a week of work experience in Year 10.
In Year 11, students refine their career research skills and develop post-16 plans including Sixth Form and Apprenticeship options. Upon entering Sixth Form, the focus shifts to university, further study and careers options with workshops introducing various post-18 avenues available to students. The Careers Programme is personalised, ensuring support for both university applications and job hunting. Invicta's Careers Service is integral to school life, providing guidance to help students navigate their educational and career journeys successfully.
