We have collated key resources and support for you to ensure that you can effectively support learners who are most at risk of not having a positive destination.
Support
To support you with longer term planning, we have identified key resources to support you in working with learners from a young age to track intended destinations, measure career readiness and to effectively engage parents/carers in supporting their children to identify their next best step.
Key resources:
- Use Compass+ or our handy template to identify those with no clear intended destinations.
- Use the Future Skills Questionnaire for key learners/cohorts to identify potential barriers.
- Support parents/carers to prepare young people for follow up meetings with Careers Advisers.
Other supporting resources:
Deliver the Future Skills Questionnaire and review learner responses to identify potential barriers. Track learners who are responding consistently negatively throughout the questionnaire, focus on questions that relate to pathways and future aspirations and use responses to tailor support and intervention.
