CAREER COACHING WITH SCHOOLS
Evidence has shown that school children and their parents want more tailored career guidance earlier and more often. School career practitioners want more time and resources to meet these requirements. Employers are also indicating that school children are not sufficiently equipped to start work after school, and work experience is a highly valued activity.
Blue Goat Careers works with schools to achieve the above by providing additional, flexible support that is designed to specifically identify the unique needs of each individual student and help them learn to make confident and independent choices they are happy with.
BLUE GOAT FOR SCHOOLS
Blue Goat offers schools a flexible approach to how they provide career support to students and in a way that is designed to specifically target the unique needs of each. Our range of programmes not only cover the subject and career choices students need to make, but also help them transition towards making informed and independent decisions that will set them up for a successful life, not just a job choice.
Our programmes can be tailored based on the specific needs of your school, students and staff. The programmes are guided by qualified psychologists and career analysts who have extensive experience consulting across a wide variety of industries. They will take into account each child’s stage of development, readiness to make decisions, and what will be the most appropriate step for that individual.

When goats are kids, they are the funniest, most energetic, free-wheeling crazy dudes that love every second of living - how could they not love it! When kids goats become adults, they are resilient, hard working and climb tough mountains… but they also get to see the beautiful view from the top.
We think this is the best analogy for how humans can live their best lives - with confidence, fun, focus and stress-free.
