At SHSCC we arrange regular visits to colleges, university and workplaces to show students what is available post 16. We also invite external companies to the college to deliver useful career workshops.
Students from all year groups are invited on these trips to help them explore a variety of career pathways so they can make informed decisions about their future.
Here are a few career trips and workshops our students have been on in the last few months:
November 2025
A group of Year 9 students visited the head office of Cambridge Building Society to find out about careers that link with Maths.
Students had the opportunity to tour the site and facilities, and then to question a group of staff to see if they could find out what their jobs were, what was involved and what pathway they took to their current careers.
After, they played a very active ‘Game of Life’ where they had to work in teams to make real life decisions, whilst being given jobs, bills, investment opportunities and the chance to buy houses. This all involved using their Maths skills to determine which would be good decisions and which would be bad.
Students and staff had a thoroughly enjoyable day, and the building society praised the students as the best group they had ever had.
