CEIAG stands for Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance.
Here at Walker, CEIAG is increasingly becoming embedded into the curriculum and culture of education within the Academy as we recognise the important contribution it makes to supporting the successful transition between childhood to adulthood, and education to employment. CEIAG is embedded in all parts of the curriculum, and also involves various events, experiences and visits.
Ms Jen Lorimer is our Careers Leader within the Academy. He can be contacted by email at jen.lorimer@wra.tynecoast.academy or by contacting the Academy directly using the details found on our CONTACT US page.
