Y12 Progression Week 2024

Last week saw our annual Year 12 Progression Week at Cowley Sixth Form College, a week-long event to help students think about what they’d like to do after sixth form.

With more than 60 organisations visiting to support the students, from universities, apprenticeship providers and employers, this year’s events allowed our Y12s to gain lots of valuable information about all the opportunities available to them once they conclude their studies with us at Cowley.

Progression Week takes the form of:

• University Day – featuring a careers fair (marketplace style) with universities from around the UK, university-based talks and sessions as well as a presentation around UCAS applications.
• Apprenticeship and Employers Day – featuring a careers fair (market place style) of apprenticeship providers and employers from a wide range of different industries plus talks and sessions about apprenticeships and industry-based topics.
• Mock Interview Day – each student sits a mock interview with a professional to help them prepare for university or employment interviews.
• Work Experience – each student partakes in a work experience placement for three days (students in some courses will do more than three days) to gain valuable experience in a workplace.

We were delighted to welcome the following organisations in to Cowley Sixth Form College for the Progression Week events this year and thank them all for their support:
