Parents and carers can have a huge influence on a young person’s decision when it comes to choosing a course or career pathway, and at Northampton College, we value the input of our students’ parents and carers when planning their next steps.
Keeping in touch with you
Each term, we email a careers newsletter to parents and carers, which aims to keep you informed about our careers programme and provide you with a range of resources and key information to help when discussing future plans with your child.
