What do Harrods, the Savoy and Ascot racecourse have in common? Many of the same customers perhaps, but actually

the answer is Barnet and Southgate College. As one of our students you could find yourself working at the front of house or in the kitchens of these prestigious places. You could even win a place on our college-funded two week placement in Portugal or Spain. Why? Because we believe you should learn in a world that closely mirrors your future working life. We want it to be easy for you to go from baking dough to earning it.

Catering and hospitality is a massive industry with global opportunities. It is the third biggest market in the UK and growing. It employs 2.4 million people across hotels, campsites, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, contract catering, festivals and events. One in every thirteen jobs is in catering and hospitality. Nationwide, in 2011 there were around 5,200 vacancies for chefs, 3,600 for waiting staff and over 1,100 for restaurant, hotel and catering managers. In London alone, the sector employs 364,000 people and in any given month there are some 4,000 vacancies waiting to be filled. London also has more restaurants than any other region and the South East has the most contract food service businesses in the country.

Our students are clearly well placed to take advantage of the London connection. However, you could as easily find yourself working for a local deli as on a cruise ship. In fact, a much overlooked side to the catering and hospitality sector is working front of house. The demand here in the UK is high but even more so in the Middle East, which will be hosting a number of major events but does not have enough local people with the right skills. Being part of the events team for the Dubai-7 Rugby tournament or the Football World Cup in Qatar could bring huge personal, professional and cash rewards.

Closer to home, there are possibilities beyond the traditional restaurant and hotel kitchen. We are seeing more food festivals like Soho’s Ribstock, Hackney’s Chilli Standoff and the

London Burger Bash. The trend for pop up restaurants is growing and seems here to stay. Even music festivals are upping the quality of their catering by using innovative companies and micro businesses. The opportunities are there for combining your work with travel, music or sport. It is also one of the industries more likely to see young entrepreneurs. In 2010, over 1,400 new businesses in the catering and hospitality sector were set up by people aged 16-25 years old.

In terms of the working life you can expect, most London chefs work an average 43 hour week with catering and bar managers clocking around 41 hours. Cooks tend to work fewer hours, about 36 hours per week. The nature of the job often means evening and weekend work but even so a lot of people work part time. This can be handy when looking after children or doing further study. You can expect to earn around £400 a week as a chef in London, £315 as a cook and £460 as a catering or bar manager.

The hours and nature of the work can come as a shock to people entering the industry, which is why we teach on the job. You will cater and help run functions such as summer schools and undertake work placements in London businesses. You will work a combination of service and training shifts to make sure you are ready to walk straight into a job.

A unique part of our offer at Barnet and Southgate College is Hospitality House, a £1 million state of the art facility set up by the Hospitality Guild. In addition to HG founders McDonalds, Compass, Hilton Worldwide, City and Guilds and People First, there is a long list of world-class industry sponsors involved with the centre. Indeed, their influence can be felt throughout Hospitality House, from the courses on offer to the fixtures and fittings. The gleaming stainless steel kitchen, the mobile cooking pods that configure and reconfigure, the café, reception area, EPOS system and the fully stocked bar and cellar create a real-world experience for learners. Live streaming and video recording mean instant and analysable feedback. We also

add to the mix the opportunity to work with incredibly talented and high profile chefs. Recent students have done work placements with Marcus Verbene from Roast restaurants and Vivek Singh of Cinnamon Club. Hospitality House is also the backdrop for a wide array of classes, from using kitchen knives to bread making and how to make the perfect canapés, soups and sauces.

We also adapt our courses to match the skills which the catering and hospitality industry needs to fill. For example, there is a shortage of chefs able to cook Asian and Oriental cuisine. There is also a growing need for chefs who are able to do food costing, manage the customer experience and do finances and marketing – all of which we cover within our courses. Crucially, if you have good customer service skills, these are great transferable skills across a number of industries and you will always be in demand.

And further in the future? We know that our industry is increasingly influenced by the tastes and habits of a group of younger and more affluent diners. London is a hot spot for them. This group eat out a number of times a week, meaning they want informal options. They value transparency, which is leading to open kitchens, artisan product sourcing and more local food on the menu. They graze, eat late and like to customise. They use social media all the time to share, document and review their experiences, anything from writing food blogs to instagramming their cheese burgers. Iconic and photogenic dishes are vital. Chefs and restaurants have Twitter and Facebook followings.

We will help you prepare for these trends but then you get to do the exciting bit. You will become part of the changing landscape. Your ideas will take us further on our journey. I personally cannot wait to see where our generation of chefs, event managers and entrepreneurs take us.

I’m the Executive Sous Chef at Harrods, Knightsbridge. Harrods is the world famous luxury department store and on the food and restaurants side we have four Food

Halls, a Wine Shop and 27 other outlets and a kitchen brigade of 160 chefs.

We have been working with Barnet and Southgate College for some time now by giving catering students hands on work experience in a busy kitchen environment with a team of experienced Chefs. We also go into College and carry out demonstrations and master classes as part of the students’ training.

The catering and hospitality students get to see first-hand how we support our iconic Food Halls and restaurants through producing the best in class cuisine across bakery, traiteur and on Harrods busy lunch island. In general we have found that the students’ training at College is very good and they have a good sound basic knowledge, which gives us the ideal base to work up from and nurture that talent, if they come and work for us.

In fact we’ve employed four students in full-time roles at Harrods after they completed their work experience with us, and once they had finished their training. Many also join us for part-time summer jobs and over the busy Christmas period.

Students’ attitudes are very positive and they’re always well briefed from their College training on what to expect and the level of commitment they need to show to work at Harrods. They’re hungry to develop and that is so great to see, as they’re passionate about their skills and the industry. I’d definitely recommend other employers to work with the College and the students.

Professional cooking: A round-the-world ticketSheldon Davis, studied Chefs Diploma, Level 1 and Level 2 and is studying for the NVQ in Food and Professional Cookery, Level 3.

My course is very good and is providing all of the skills that I need to be able to work in a professional kitchen in the future.

It has so much to offer, including the ICT and English skills that I needed which is helping write more formally. The ICT is as important in this industry as you have to have the skills and knowledge to be able to manage the stock-taking and to be able to work on spread sheets when you are ordering food or any stock in the day to day management of a restaurant or in a large hotel.

It’s all really good training for the future and working in the real world.

I have had a lot of work experience at College which included a two week visit to Spain where I worked in a traditional high quality Spanish restaurant serving dishes such as paella and tapas. It was a great time where I learned a lot about how a busy restaurant works and I’ve also worked in Harrods. The opportunities are great and College helped me with contacts for both of these placements.

College is giving me all of the tools I need for the future, so I can use this qualification to go and work all over the world. I have ambitions to work in a classic restaurant in Dubai, where there are so many five star hotels with great well paid jobs. Eventually I want to work in a big hotel as an Executive Chef. I might even take my catering skills abroad, back home to Jamaica and work in a lavish hotel there. These fancy hotels such as the ones in the Sandals chain in Jamaica have so many opportunities.

I feel I can take something back in terms of fusion food and I can bring something good to Jamaica as I’m learning a lot here.

To summarise, Barnet and Southgate College is an amazing learning institution that has allowed me to broaden my horizons and open my scope to learn, and increase my knowledge. I am learning how to work with so many different types of people from diverse backgrounds so College is preparing me for so much more than just learning catering skills, I am also learning life skills.

I love everything about my course and I enjoy all of it, but my favourite part has to be when I cook in the kitchen or I enjoy cooking in the restaurant for special

customers. There are two working restaurants in the College that are open to the public, based at the Southgate Campus.

There is also quite a bit of work experience available. I helped with the summer school and I am also working at Hospitality House. At first I wasn’t comfortable and I was nervous but now I am comfortable as working in a real kitchen has helped me with my skills and confidence.

What I enjoy about Barnet and Southgate College is the fact that before I came here, when I was in my first year, I couldn’t actually do anything with food, but since I came here it has helped me cook food on so many levels and I can now advise others and I can plan a simple menu and set a recipe myself. I feel like that I know what I am doing.

I enjoy my experiences here and I feel happy and I can do this as my job it’s great. I was very nervous at the beginning of my course but the College is helping me build up my confidence and my skills to help my career in catering and once I’ve finished my course I plan to find work straight away in a restaurant. I want to look for a job and carry on doing what I love.

What are the latest trends and demands in the food industry? Hospitality is an engaging, sociable working environment, with opportunities everywhere you go! Hotels, restaurants, leisure complexes, nightclubs and bars are just a few of the establishments that make up this exciting industry.

Recent reports from the hospitality industries employers suggest that there are 2.5 million jobs within the sector and that by 2020 a further 660,000 new vacancies will be filled.

The diversity and the range of career prospects within hospitality make it a unique industry to join. There are significant skills gaps in many of the areas of the hospitality industry with a particular need for quality trained chefs, bartenders, waiters and hotel managers.

The hospitality industry needs 130,000 managers by 2020. Could you be one of them?In fact, many graduates progress into hospitality management but also chefs, catering assistants, bar staff and room attendants can all update their skills into general management and beyond. So if you’re already part of the industry you’re well on your way. Hospitality is more than just a job, it can offer a rewarding career and there are fantastic opportunities for passionate and hardworking people.

Why do I need to continuously update my professional catering and hospitality training?London is fourth on the world’s list of cities with the most Michelin stars. The UK hospitality industry is proud of this achievement and the city attracts many of the world’s top employees and food tourists. In order to maintain this level of service the city’s restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs cannot remain complacent. Hospitality is a fast changing environment with new and innovative styles of food preparation, service and concepts appearing daily. Anyone employed or looking to become employed in the industry needs to be flexible and willing to continuously update their skills.

What can Hospitality House offer and why should you choose to study there?Hospitality House is unique, a state of the art training facility that has been designed and sponsored by the Hospitality industry. Barnet and Southgate College in partnership with People 1st have designed a range of courses with industry to enable the sectors employees and new students to gain the skills and confidence to keep pace with the fast changing environment in hospitality.

Hospitality House Who’s Who?

Peter Tiley Head of Hospitality House

As Head of Hospitality House I oversee and manage the running of the facility and all curriculum courses. Matthew Hancock, Minister for Skills and Enterprise, officially opened Hospitality House towards the end of 2013. Earmarked as one of the hospitality industry’s most advanced training venues in London; the management of the building’s facilities is carried out by Barnet and Southgate College in partnership with the Hospitality Guild.

It’s a fantastic opportunity for the College, which gives our catering students first-hand experience of the daily running of a commercial venue, and at the same time allows them to undertake parts of their training within the bespoke facilities using the latest interactive technology. The building features a reception, bar, cellar and café training areas, flexible meeting space and a stunning demonstration and training kitchen with individual cooking pods. It

really is the very best for our students to learn and train in. With public investment, industry sponsorship and in-kind support for Hospitality House totalling over £3 million, major funding was received from the Skills Funding Agency and the Hospitality Guild’s founding partners – Compass Group, People 1st, City and Guilds and Hilton Hotels.

It’s one of the best catering and hospitality training facilities in the region, allowing our students to be taught in an environment using the latest equipment within a state of the art kitchen and fully working barista area. As a College, we’re proud to be working in partnership with the Hospitality Guild and the initiative is integral to one of our key strategic aims, which is to improve our students’ employability.

At the end of the day we want our students to be able to get a job at the end of their course and the cutting edge facilities give our catering students the opportunity to gain work experience and train in a real life environment, whether that’s to become a chef, barista or embark on any career in catering or hospitality.

Natasha Mouler Front of House Supervisor, Hospitality House

I studied Travel and Tourism when I went to College and I then trained to be a Sommelier for one year in London. In the past I’ve worked for the Gordon Ramsey restaurants as a Commis Sommelier and I’ve also worked in other top restaurants and Harrods eateries. I’m now happy to be working at Barnet and Southgate College where I am also a PTTLS qualified teacher and trainer, as well as being the Front of House Supervisor at Hospitality House.

I deliver Sommelier training to the catering students, where we also look at coffee making and wine making; by looking at different grapes and wine regions we teach students to become passionate about wine and we introduce them to spirits. The facilities here are great and we teach students about good coffee using the latest technology, showing them how to make a good café latte, or cappuccino by giving them the background on coffee beans and regions, so it’s not a simple task.

I love working here and I feel proud that I am helping the students. The training also helps them in the job market, if you’re training to be a chef you have to be interested in wine as you have to know the differences, so you can match food with wine and create menus and also advise customers and other chefs. We teach that all here. We also teach professional courses, as well as training not just for chefs but customer service, front of house skills and being a good waiter, which includes all aspects of hospitality.

Hospitality House is all about working with people, developing excellent customer service skills every day. We try and train students to treat their customers as if it’s your own home or dinner party by delivering something special every time and to have pride in your work.

Ken Williams Event Co-ordinator, Hospitality House

I coordinate all of the events at Hospitality House, from the logistics and management on the day to the technology required and working with the students. This can vary day to day from hosting a small seminar, to a large conference, to a national awards event.

Just last week we held the Young Asian Chef of the Year Awards in the kitchens. The events we host generally tend to be for the retail, catering or hospitality industry but the space is available to hire to any organisation. For example we run a lot of training for the ‘EAT’ chain as we have the meeting rooms, kitchens and barista area to train their staff. As we have such excellent meeting rooms and kitchens with all of the latest technology it really has mass appeal.

We work closely with Barnet and Southgate College students to prepare all of the food for the events. They have to rise to the challenge as they are dealing with external customers often from their industry with exacting standards. They really do perform well and its great work experience for them. It’s an exciting place to work which is growing each week and we’re soon to extend the restaurant services out to the local community with gourmet nights and other events.

Maria Karalou Senior Administrator, Hospitality House

I manage the front of house and reception at Hospitality House; ordering the catering stock, raising invoices, dealing with the finance and handling the curriculum administration as well. I work closely with the students that come here and they love working in such a professional environment, as do I, it’s a great place to work and learn.

We have a number of students training here, of all ages and stages of their career using the facilities; whether it’s to complete their chef training or start at the basic level catering or hospitality courses; they all use the amazing facilities here and get some great work experience.

I also help with all of the events that we run here, these are expanding and it’s great to meet all of the external clients that we have coming in, it’s also great to see our students thrive on meeting the challenges presented to them as they work on different events.

We have close links with the hotel restaurants so we know what they are looking for and plan our curriculum content to reflect this. Sonny AbelaLecturer

17

The Chef Diploma is a well-recognised qualification that allows our students to be able to go and apply to work in various London five star hotels as

soon as they finish their courses. When they leave they have two choices; they can either work and study for the NVQ Level 3 at College or they can go straight into employment.

Our students can start applying for jobs as a Commis Chef in four or five star hotels or other catering establishments, then as they progress they can go onto become a Chef de Partie, leading to a Sous Chef position, and eventually they can head up a restaurant as the Head Chef, but that can take up to ten years work experience.

Our goal is to train our students to be able to work in quality establishments such as The Ritz, The Savoy, Harrods and other four and five star hotels around London. The students are taught a lot of skills here, from pastry work to meat cutting and preparation, sauces, soups, fish preparation, vegetable preparation and cooking bread, ICT skills – it is basically everything that they will need to know as a chef, so it covers a lot of variety.

All the necessary criteria are well covered, in fact we have close links with the hotel restaurants so we know what they are looking for and plan our curriculum content to reflect this, in addition to this we try and send each student on regular work experience placements, at establishments such as Harrods, The Ritz and The Savoy. So the students know what is expected of them as catering professionals.

The facilities at both the Southgate Campus and Hospitality House are amazing; full of excellent equipment so the students have all they need to learn the necessary skills and succeed in their work here. They also have the latest technology and ICT so they are used to learning with the latest PC packages relevant to the industry. We aim to train our students to be as work ready as possible.

I’ve worked my way up to a Level 3 qualification from studying levels one and two, and all of the catering courses have been amazing so far. However the jump

to working on Level 3 is quite intense as you have a lot more responsibility where you have to supervise a lot but it’s good in a way as it’s really preparing me for what I want to do, which is to work in a top restaurant or hotel, maybe abroad. It’s a demanding industry, which College prepares you for.

As I’ve been here for a few years now I‘ve had the opportunity to go on work experience at a number of places such as Kew Gardens and I helped in the catering tents during London 2012, I couldn’t believe I was actually at the Olympics! We also assist at BBC Master Chef and other high profile events, it’s great.

My interest long term is to stay in catering, I love the industry and I’d be happy to go into anything that involves catering. But I have a great interest in going to Japan as I love the discipline in the kitchens there and working with sushi, maybe one day I’ll be working there.

Whatever I do, the College has really helped prepare me for a career in the catering industry as they’ve pushed me to the limit, in a good way. I don’t know what I’d do if I wasn’t at College, it has given me real direction. Plus the facilities are great; it’s all modern and what you need but at the end of the day you can’t blame the tools, you have to work hard as well.

You get great support from all of the tutors they are always there to tell you where you need to improve and also be a shoulder to rely on, so you do get a bit of TLC at College as well. In fact it’s amazing here at College, there’s a lot of sweat and tears, but it’s all definitely worth it, I’d give the College 10 out of 10!

Work experience: worth its weight in gold Howard To studied Chefs Diploma, Level 1, NVQ in Food Service, Level 2 and is now studying NVQ in Professional Cookery, Level 3.

At the start of my course it was a little hard for me as I couldn’t speak very good English, as I’m originally from Italy, so the lessons were difficult for

me. On top of that I came back to college as an adult, mature student, for me I felt the cooking skills and the kitchen skills were not a problem, but my English skills needed some help. The College really helped me and supported me with my English, the tutor was so helpful and as I’d been working in a different place I had to get used to the production and teaching, but it was great here. The tutors not only supported me with English lessons but in the kitchen they gave me a big hand, and also with getting work experience.

I am so pleased to say that I am now actually working for Harrods in their only Italian restaurant, I can’t believe it. Before I got that role I was helping and getting work experience in the rotisserie areas, steakhouse, restaurant production and the pastry kitchen. In fact I’ve had a lot of jobs in Harrods, but now I work in the Italian restaurant only and I am in charge of my own section as I was quickly promoted here. (I’ve actually had three promotions in total).

The College has fantastic links with all the top restaurants in London so you get great skills and preparation plus the work experience, which is how I first got my job. I was also lucky as I already had a few years’ experience from Italy, where I was working in catering and hospitality but it’s another concept here in the UK, it’s totally different, so my College training really helped. College gave me the chance to work in some of the best hotels in London and the world, from Harrods to Gordon Ramsay.

Overall I’ve gained great skills to establish a successful career in catering, this is all through my work experience with College. I’ve also had the chance to improve my catering and chef skills and English. I feel that coming to College has been essential to learn the right skills to get the right job in catering and the benefit of work experience is invaluable. Barnet and Southgate College really is the best.

Each course I teach gives students an understanding of how kitchens work and a good grounding in the industry. Level 1 Catering and Hospitality

teaches students kitchen work and basic skills training. Moving up to Level 2, it gets a bit more specialist, moving into each area of catering such as butchery or pastry, it’s a chance for students to hone their skills and the variety in subject areas helps them to push their skills. Once you reach Level 3 we teach our students to think like supervisors, where they have a lot more autonomy as they’re preparing to move into their workplace of the future.

In fact, our students are the chefs and catering managers of the future, each level teaches them the right skills and attributes that they’ll need to be a chef in the future.

Some of our students come to us at a very young age, they’ve not even had any part time jobs and they have to build up their skills and confidence quickly but the most important attribute is enthusiasm – most hotels and restaurants offer work experience and enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are the two most important factors they need. These realistic work environments really help our students in fact we offer this at College as well as we have a fully working bistro and restaurant where they’re learning patisserie skills and other skills which could help them find a job on any current UK high street.

We’re proud to have had some notable successes at the College, one of our students started here on a VRQ course, she completed levels 1 and 2 then secured a work placement at Harrods. I have good contacts there myself as I teach at the College and train staff at Harrods as well as working on their in-house training programme. We also arrange for Harrods staff to come in and talk to the students.

Our student has since been offered a job at Harrods and she’s not even finished her Level 3 qualification. But we work around her job as she’s started working there part-time whilst still coming into College to finish her course. She works there full-time over College holidays. Ultimately it’s all about finding the right job at the end of your course, so if you find one we support you to finish your course around your job which is the priority.

Our Catering courses teach the basics in western cookery, including French, Italian, fusion and pan-Asian foods. There is also a strong emphasis on organisational skills. Overall outcomes are very positive for all of our students; we want to know they can succeed and it’s important for us to know where they’re going to be over the years so we try and stay in contact with them.

They may struggle at first to get themselves into a job but they’re helped by other catering alumni who come into College and show us what they’ve learned and talk about where they work and help them with advice with jobs. At the end of the day you never stop learning in this industry and even I like to learn from our alumni.

I really enjoy my job and it’s very challenging and interesting working with people of all ages that come along to College to train on a catering course.

Hospitality House, in partnership with Barnet and Southgate College, is a state-of-the-art training and meeting facility dedicated to the hospitality industry’s employers, employees, learning providers, students, suppliers and professional bodies. The centre incorporates the latest hospitality equipment from leading industry suppliers and the amazing facility boasts ground-breaking audio-visual and interactive web technology.

My job is to teach students the right skills to work in this exciting industry. In fact our key goal is to make you ready to work as soon as you have qualified, we want to make it as relevant to you as possible. It’s all about getting our students into industry and getting industry to come to us as well. We have a number of guest speakers from high profile hotels and restaurants such as Harrods, coming in to do workshops in specific skills in addition to the skills training we provide, which gets more specific as you train up from levels 1 to 3.

At the same time we encourage you to get as much work experience as you can and we hold ‘skills days’ with our industry contacts for students to be able to network and arrange their own work placements. We try and help them every step of the way.

Another way we achieve this is through our community liaison projects, which get our students working out and about in the community, developing communication skills and providing essential hands on experience. Our current projects include healthy eating demonstrations at schools, winter warmer dinners for the elderly and subsidised training for dinner ladies in three key local London boroughs. As one of our students you will really get to give something back to the local community whilst developing your practical skills.

I started working in the catering industry about 25 years ago, my background is in hotels and I used to work at The Savoy in London. I’ve always been interested in working with young people as they’re the chefs of the future. As I’ve always worked on the catering training side in the hotels I’ve worked in – moving into education seemed like a natural step.

I loved going to College myself so teaching in one is great as I always wanted to get into the sector. Working here is one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done as it’s like you’re running a business but at the same time you’re looking after and caring for students needs. It’s challenging – but I love the ideas and the buzz I get from students – it’s a really exciting place full of social enterprise and the future here is really exciting.

Parent PowerFrom September 2013 the education leaving age rose to 17 and from 2015 it will rise again, to 18. However, post 16 education doesn’t just mean staying at school full-time: your child can stay at school, go to college, or take up an apprenticeship or a part-time training course. They can earn money and learn new skills at the same time if they want to.

Our A Level department is the second largest provider in the Barnet and Enfield areas, which provides those who wish to progress onto Higher

Education a clear route. However, for many students academic routes are not the most appropriate option; with an increasing number of vocational and professional education programmes on offer there are now other exciting pathways which lead students to greater success and fulfilment in their working life.

A recent Edge Foundation survey discovered that many young people are being actively discouraged from opting for vocational and professional education - with just a quarter of parents (27%) judging it to be worthwhile*. This is despite evidence that people who choose a practical, hands-on approach to learning are as fulfilled as people who took an academic route.**

Additionally, research from the 2012 First Steps to Wealth Report, illustrates that the lifetime earnings of a graduate are comparable with the lifetime earnings of many former apprentices - for example construction apprentices earn a total of £1,504,000 over their life time compared with £1,612,000 for a graduate,*** dispelling the fear that university degrees lead to much higher life time incomes.

The survey identified that many students (22%) are being advised by parents and schools that they are ‘too clever’ for vocational and professional education. Only half (51%) of parents encouraged their child’s choice to pursue vocational qualifications, compared to three quarters (74%) who were happy to support their child through an academic route.

This highlights a growing problem: you as parents are not getting access to the most up to date career information to allow you to make informed choices about your children’s future. We understand that parents remain the biggest influence on their children’s education (44%), so we need to equip you with the knowledge and skills to be able to give sound, informed advice about the options available for you child.

There continues to be a stigma attached to vocational and professional education which is unfounded. This country has a huge challenge ahead in ensuring that our children are equipped with the right skills to ensure a successful workforce of the future, and parents are part of that journey. It is essential that parents understand the future job market and therefore enable and encourage their children to train appropriately so they do not become another number in the endless list of university graduates that cannot secure employment.

Recent independent research commissioned by the Association of Colleges (AoC) found that many parents admit they struggle to give their child the right advise when it comes to the world of work. The Barnet and Southgate College REED NCFE Employment Zone has been developed with this research in mind. At the REED NCFE Employment Zone students are professionally guided to help them find the right job after their course, and they are taught how to think and behave in a work environment. This is done via work placements, interview training, CV writing skills and specialist careers advice as well as sessions run by employers within their subject area. In a recent survey of 1,264 employers conducted by REED, 97% put the workplace ‘mind-set’ element ahead of skills, as something they look for when recruiting. In a further study of 30,000 CVs, REED found that demonstrating a workplace mind-set on a CV “tripled your chances of getting and keeping” the best job.

Barnet and Southgate College recognise parents as a valuable source of information to help us provide you with the detail to make an informed choice about your child’s future education and progress. We want to know what is it you want from us in terms of advice and guidance and how we can help you to better advice your children? With this in mind we have developed various communications channels for you to engage with us.

Getting the right advice for your child“It is essential that parents understand the future job market and therefore enable and encourage their children to train appropriately.”

There are five careers advisors at Barnet and Southgate College, two are based at Wood Street, two at Southgate and one at Grahame Park.

Members of our team also work at Edmonton Green, Child’s Hill Library and Burnt Oak Community Centre.

The essence of careers guidance is helping people to make decisions about learning and work, and to manage their career progress. Advisers do this through offering one-to-one help and delivering group workshops. Our aim is to give students a full picture of their options, talk through the pros and cons and help each student to identify the best course for them.

Some common questions students ask are: What are my options for next year, What should I study at university, Can you check my personal statement, Would you have a look at my CV, What jobs can I get after this course and even: I want to earn lots of money but I don’t want to work very hard – what should I do?!

However, a fundamental part of the careers adviser’s code is impartiality. We are not a sales team working on behalf of the College and it’s not our job to sign up your child to College courses. Our role is to explore the full range of appropriate options with them, looking at the advantages and disadvantages and through this to help young people make decisions which are right for them – and that actually might not be to study on a course at Barnet and Southgate College.

We welcome parents to come in and talk to us with their child. In fact, this can be really helpful as parents know their children well and often have useful insight regarding what their children enjoy and are good at.

“I think we offer a number of things at College that schools just do not offer. I think we offer a wider range of opportunities in our mix of academic and vocational courses and consequently the chance to study something

new which is not available in school; a fresh start - a chance to define yourself as you wish, rather than conforming to other people’s established expectations of you; a chance to interact with a broader mix of people and to expand your horizons.

As part of our job we attend a number of external events such as Higher Education Fairs with students, and we also participate in school events. We are also starting to work at Employer Fairs this year so that students can meet employers and find out about jobs, apprenticeships, volunteering and training opportunities.

It’s important for us to connect with students at schools and within college. At the beginning of the academic year, the Learner Services team carry out induction talks with each group of new students. This gives us the opportunity to tell students about our services and how to find us. Class tutors can also sign up for further group talks which gives us the opportunity to reach more students. We cover things like Introduction to Higher Education, Alternatives to HE, Applying to University, Writing a Personal Statement, what to do next after your current course, Preparing for Interviews and Career opportunities in specific fields and Progression.

Sometimes students sign up for a course which really doesn’t suit them which can easily lead to de-motivation and under performance. We can help support them to identify better options and channel their energies into something they are more enthusiastic about. We are here to help them take the next step, whether that’s Higher Education, another further education course, an apprenticeship or employment.

We also help to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to put their career plans into action so that they can get into the courses for the job they want.”

Susan Jackson, Careers Advisor

I love my job. I meet a variety of people at different stages in their lives and with such a wide range of needs and ambitions. There’s always something new to learn and I receive continuous on-going training and this has all sorts of benefits. For example, I recently went to an event at a local university which was focused on nursing and midwifery. Learning about what makes a high calibre applicant for these degrees has really helped me when advising clients and giving mock interviews.

I think employers these days are looking for a work ‘mind-set’ and by that I mean a willingness to turn up on time, focus on the task and apply themselves, a readiness to muck in and do both the humble and the more complex tasks, a willingness to learn and to sometimes put up with the odd mundane task. Everyone has to start somewhere.

I’ve been working at the College for nearly two years and there have been so many good things about this job but two in particular that stand out to me is when a student walks out of your office with a smile on their face because they have a plan and they’re excited about it and secondly when they rush up to you in the corridor to tell you that they’ve been offered a place on the course they wanted or have got the job that they went for, it’s very rewarding indeed.

In a recent survey of 1,264 employers conducted by REED, 97% put the workplace ‘mind-set’ element ahead of skills, as something they look for when recruiting. In a further study of 30,000 CVs, REED found that demonstrating a workplace mind-set on a CV “tripled your chances of getting and keeping” the best job.
