Future Ready Pathways

Designed around future career ambitions

Discover your passion. Shape your future.

Every Sixth Form student follows a Future Ready Pathway alongside their academic programme. The eight Pathways help students explore areas connected to their interests and future ambitions through real-world projects, industry partnerships, mentoring, work experience and professional skills development.

Digital and AI skills across every Pathway

FUTURE READY

Digital skills and an understanding of AI are becoming increasingly important across almost every sector and profession. Digital and AI learning is therefore embedded across the Future Ready Pathways, helping students understand how technology is being used and how it is changing practice within different fields.

Supported by industry experts, students develop the confidence to use digital and AI tools effectively, critically and responsibly. Where appropriate, some Pathways also offer opportunities to work towards recognised digital certificates, providing students with practical skills and qualifications they can take with them beyond CHS.
