Young people will often look to parents, guardians, siblings and other family members for careers advice and guidance as their first experience of work and careers is based on what they witness at home. Having said that, post 16 and post 18 options is an ever-changing landscape and there are so many opportunities out there that young people can explore and consider, and in order to support them effectively we need to be aware of them as well.
We have subscribed to Unifrog and Skills Builder to help our students in preparing for their next steps. We advise that you take time to explore the resources available to students, when they log in. You can access the Skills Builder page without logging in.
This link will take you directly to the Skills Builder page that is designed to give advice to parents/guardians on helping their child develop essential skills.
