Employer engagement

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.

Developed by Endeavour Training.

This resource is an employability and further education advice pack for young people and parents. The pack is produced in both English and Roma languages. The pack is focussed on opportunities in Sheffield and the surrounding areas but has elements which are universal across all areas. The pack has been designed to be accessible to people with SEN.

This activity has been developed by College Park School and is part of the My Skills My Future programme.  It contains a lesson plan and accompanying resources aimed at young people in SEND group 1.

Support students when it comes to finding the right university, and help them prepare for what’s ahead, with this targeted programme and free suite of resources.

2. Decision made (Y6) once the children have been allocated their secondary school

These free resources have been developed by Accenture (national).
