Careers Advice for Schools and Colleges
Army Careers Advisors (ACA) deliver lots of different activities for Schools and Colleges to support the National Curriculum through citizenship and humanitarian modules. This photo shows Army engineers helping out after the earthquake in Northern Pakistan in 2005. ACAs discuss where Kasmir is, what causes earthquakes, what happened, and how the international community, UK and the Army responded to the crisis.
As well as advising on careers for officers and soldiers in the Army, the Army Careers Advisors can also book activities for the Army Recruiting Teams. These can be delivered on or off-site and include one and five-day insight programmes, team building activities, displays and advice at careers fairs, and parents evenings for those thinking of joining the Army.
For further details on presentations on Army Careers, humanitarian issues, citizenship and general curriculum support call the numbers below or view the pdf documents on the right.
