Head of Careers – Mr D Ross
Welcome to the Careers Department at Ballymena Academy. We provide an integrated programme of Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance which aims to develop knowledge, skills and personal qualities which will enable pupils to manage their career development effectively, to make informed choices at transition points, to formulate and to implement personal career plans. We place a focus on the pastoral aspect of careers advice and guidelines, treating each young person equality and providing tailored careers guidance for all post-16 and post-18 pathways. Please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office for more information.
