Employability
At The Meadows, Employability supports students to understand their own skills, qualities and interests related to their employability and being able to make informed choices and decisions about their own future as well as an understanding of the world of world and what it means to be employable in different contexts. This connects with our CEIAG programme and supports students from year 7 onwards.
