North Ridge High School is committed to every young person getting the careers advice, information advice and guidance they need, and that this advice is in their best interest, and theirs alone.

North Ridge High School has completed the three stage Inspiring IAG Award and has now achieved the Quality in Careers Standard. The Quality in Careers Standard is the single national quality award for careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) in schools, colleges and work-based learning.

We work with Career Connect, a Matrix approved organisation which provides quality independent careers advice, bridging the gap to learning and employment and better life chances for young people and adults.

Career Connect offers our students:

• Impartial Careers advice

• Advice and support to apply for apprenticeships, traineeships, supported Internships and  volunteer work
• Job-searching
• CVs, job applications and interview preparation
