The main aim of Harrison College is to prepare young people for the world of work
Each student will engage with a supported internship that is linked to their own Career Development Plan. Once the placement is agreed we ensure that regular visits take place so that we can assess progress against key employability skills.
We focus on Skills Builder, assessing students progress against the 8 essential skills for work and we are members of the CDI and NCW Ambassadors.
Careers Entitlement Statement
Harrison College students receive unbiased, high quality, up to date and locally relevant careers information and guidance, with multiple opportunities for good quality, meaningful encounters with the world of work.
Our careers programme is modelled around the current best-practice for careers guidance and the eight Gatsby Benchmarks have been at the heart of our careers work.

National Careers Week: Empowering positive change through careers education
We recognise that a lot of young people and families are experiencing feelings of worry or uncertainty around future careers. You and your family, like most of us, have perhaps wondered if career opportunities will be effected by the pandemic, and what that might mean for the future of young people.
We want to encourage students and their families to have conversations about careers and the future, especially this year in these challenging times.
