Choosing the correct subject
One of the most important decisions a child makes whilst at school is selecting the correct combination of subjects that they are required to study in order for them to progress to tertiary education in a pathway that is not only correct, but one that they are passionate about. In this ever-changing world, many parents cannot keep up with the new and exciting careers that are now available to our children and the best way to get them into these fields of opportunity.
To facilitate this process AAESS have partnered with Futures Abroad, a specialist company who recently conducted professional psychometric testing in the ICT labs. The tests will assess reasoning and cognitive ability, determining the right skill set for specific careers. We believe that having this knowledge will then enable our parents, students and AAESS the ability to support our students with a more quantifiable approach to career advice.
In the weeks to come one on one feedback will be given by Futures Abroad to our students and parents.
Due to the large demand another test date is being arranged for the next academic year. Please chat to Mrs Cash (Head of Sixth Form) for details.
