Who is this session suitable for?
Our online careers guidance sessions are designed for young people exploring post-16 and post-18 options and who need some advice and guidance on next steps.
This could include apprenticeships, further education, higher education or job search.
Our professionally-qualified careers advisers are always impartial – meaning they place identifying each young person’s skills, interests and goals at the centre of the discussion.
Your careers adviser
The session will be delivered by one of our professionally qualified careers advisers, with years of frontline experience in mainstream and specialist education settings.Â
Our advisers are qualified to Level 6 – the professional standard for careers advisers.
What you can expect from us
Our careers sessions are tailored to each young person, but can include helping a young person to:
- Identify skills, qualities, and interests, and any long-term career aspirations that can inform next steps
- Make informed decisions at key transition points, such as post-16/18 options
- Understand options such as apprenticeships, further education, higher education or job search
- Understand course and career options and the job market for different industries
Your careers adviser will spend time asking questions, before providing individual guidance based on what the young person says.
They will also work with the young person to agree an action plan, to help equip them in taking next steps.
