These resources will support you in promoting the wide range of technical education pathways which are available for young people.

This presentation was used in a workshop to support the thinking around the development of BM4 in a SEND setting. 

Developed by Black Country Careers Hub. Here are three resources to support a mainstream setting to audit their careers offer for SEND pupils. Create a SWOT analysis based on the audit, then plan pupil centred interventions to meet the needs of individual pupils.

This course 'Understanding Pathways and Career Opportunities' is designed to support SENCOs and their teams in understanding the role they play in careers education and how they can, through the work they already do, support young people to make informed choices about their best next step and potential career pathway. 

Talentino programmes have been helping to improve career outcomes for young people with a range of learning difficulties in a mixture of settings – special schools, mainstream schools, AP, PRU, SEMH, etc.

They also provide great opportunities for learning more, through their regular newsletters, annual SEND Careers Conference, and by publishing free resources.
