Welcome to The Ashcombe School’s Careers Evening 2016 As part of our Careers Education and Guidance programme we are delighted to welcome students, parents, staff and visitors to The Ashcombe School Careers Fair, sponsored by The Ashcombe School PTA.

U-Xplore workshop in R11 throughout the evening

U-Xplore All secondary schools in Surrey now have access to a careers website called U-Xplore. This provides an excellent basis for careers research, allowing students to investigate specific types of jobs and more general areas of working life. All students are entitled to access U-Xplore, but they will need to complete the registration process. To register students need to: Go to the following web address http://www.uxplore.com/website/# Click on the orange tab titled “Launch U-Xplore” At this point students will need to register, so they need to click on “Not Registered yet?”. If students have registered they should know their user name and password. The registration code is 64050. The advice from U-Xplore is to use the same username and password students have on the school network. U-Xplore provides a good resource to look through detailing a vast range of future courses and careers.
