Employer Information
In order to support our vision of helping our pupils and students to be aspirational, we need the support of both the public and private sectors. The Careers programme is the bridge between education and employment.

We invite all interested employers to engage with us at St Edward's College. The table below details how. For more information or to arrange a meeting please contact Margaret Maitland (Careers Coordinator): margaret.maitland@st-edwards.co.uk
