Working with visitors, external agencies and our community
As an academy at the heart of its community, we are commuted to ensuring everyone is part of our careers journey – including staff, students, parents and carers, local employers, and further and higher educational providers.
In line with the latest update from Good Career Guidance: The Next 10 Years (2025), we continue to welcome contributions from external organisations, employers, employees, Further Education providers, Higher Education providers and training providers to enrich our Careers Programme.
If you would like to get involved – whether it be delivering an assembly, participating in our Summer Careers Fair, or offering a Work Experience placement, we are interested in hearing from you.
Please contact the Academy’s Careers Leader, Mr Vikaas Patel, Assistant Principal, via email (v.patel@harrisbeulahhill.org.uk).
