Vocational Guidance

Our school’s Vocational Guidance programme aims to encourage students to reflect on themselves, their vocational interests and their personal motivations. Through this programme, activities are carried out to help them understand the characteristics of each professional field and explore the university options that best suit their interests in order to make responsible decisions regarding their vocational future.

This programme includes a series of activities that take place as from S4. They articulate both with Academic and Wellbeing programmes and are constructed around two axes:

  • Self-knowledge about personal aptitudes and intellectual concerns of our students.

  • Access to information about the university world and the labor fields of the different disciplines.

The actions we carry out to achieve these purposes are included in the following components:

IGCSE and IB Subject Choice Orientation Workshops

The articulated plan offered by our school challenges students to make strategic decisions about their future based on the selection of subjects from international exam programmes.

As from S4, workshops are held to help students reflect on their potential in the different subjects in order to choose them in a strategic way. This allows them to become aware of their interests and the relationship that the subjects have with different university career options.

Educational and Vocational Guidance Workshops

During the last two years of schooling the students participate in specific vocational orientation workshops that help them to link their interests and abilities with the world of work and careers. Amongst the different activities performed, different University representatives are invited to carry out participatory activities & informative talks.

SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and Vocational Development

Through our subject “SEL” activities are performed to promote students’ personal growth through active participation so that they take ownership, think, inform themselves and develop necessary resources to take decisions concerning their future.

University meetings with former students

Students in the last two years take part in meetings with alumni who share their experience with them and provide them with information about their career, university life and professional development.
