you wish. - Record careers discussions on your pro-monitor account so that you have a record to
refer back to and reflect upon. - Embed equality and diversity throughout, in line with College Equality & Diversity
Policy. - We offer learning which actively seeks to challenge stereotypical thinking and raise
aspirations, such as Women and Girls into Engineering and STEM subjects. - Not share your data with a third party unless you have agreed for us to do so. The
most common instance of this will be your CV if we are supporting you to seek an
apprenticeship or employment. - Assist you in completing personal statements and how to research the right university

Higher Education information. - Support you with job applications for progression into apprenticeships and
