Careers

At Carleton High School we believe that students should be well prepared and well informed in making excellent decisions about their next steps.

We aim to challenge stereotypes, remove barriers and encourage students to consider the full range of careers available both locally and at a national level.

Under normal circumstances, outside providers would come into school and deliver face to face assemblies to students about their next steps. During the current situation this is not possible. Below you will find useful links to support the application process.
