This resource has been developed by Youth Employment UK and is a fantastic opportunity for young people to develop their skills. 

This short course is designed to highlight how the wider education workforce play a key role in supporting young people to make informed choices about their best next step and potential career pathway. 

When referring to the ‘wider education workforce’ we include those in roles such as pastoral within education and those who support young people through other relationships such as social workers, case workers, youth workers and specialist support. 

The University of London Careers Service have developed a new free, impartial and accurate online careers course resource for school and college students (aged 16-18), to help them learn more and make good, well-informed career decisions about their post-18 careers options.

Resources are relevant, realistic training preparing learners for the entire journey of choosing the right career, finding a job and being successful in the workplace:

• Features innovative simulations providing a safe environment for learners to practice for real life situations e.g., a job interview, first day in a new job.
• Choose from 108 bite-sized, interactive and highly effective online learning modules and 26 downloadable activity packs to consolidate learning.

These FREE to attend events showcase all levels of Apprenticeships, from entry level all the way through to Higher and Degree. This offers visitors the opportunity to engage with each region’s top Employers, Colleges, Universities, and Training Providers in a face-to-face, interactive environment.
