Packages & Support

Head of 6th From, Mougins International School. ‘SPW Careers have been an invaluable contact for the Mougins School community.  They have readily answered any questions our sixth form teachers have, they have a helpline available for students and happily meet with parents who may have unique or individual requests for support.  They are reliable, prompt and go above and beyond.

I, along with our 6th form team, have greatly benefited from and have immensely appreciated the wealth of knowledge they have so generously shared with us.  I would highly recommend their services to any school, institution, individual student or parent.’

THE SPW CAREERS PACKAGES

SPW Careers provides award-winning Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance to schools in the UK and internationally.

We know that no two schools are the same. That’s why we’ve evolved our approach — replacing generic careers programmes with bespoke support designed around each school’s priorities, students and challenges. With flexible options such as day rates or per-student pricing, schools can build a careers offer that fits their needs, their timetable and their budget.
