Students receive independent and impartial information, advice and guidance appointments during their time at the academy to support them with their careers planning, particularly in respect to post 16 and post 18 transitions.  Information, advice and guidance meetings are offered to students by Mrs Bryan-Brown, the academy's Aspirations, Careers & Work Experience Lead.  Mrs Bryan-Brown holds a level 6 diploma in Careers Guidance and Development and adheres to the Career Development Institute code of ethics and continuing professional development.  Alongside her other careers work, she can offer support with choices relating to courses and qualifications, apprenticeships, employment, work experience, volunteering and training programmes. 

Parents/guardians are welcome to make any enquiries by emailing careers@tbowa.org.
