Careers Programme:

Our Careers Officer at EKC Dover College provides impartial information, advice and guidance to students and their parents, carers and supporters. The college aims for every student to be offered a personal guidance discussion to support them in exploring their potential progression pathways and to have meaningful encounters with employers, workplaces and progression providers, including college courses, university, employment and apprenticeships. In addition to individual support, we also offer group careers sessions to help students develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence.

Below is an outline of the careers programme:
