National Careers Week 2016 2016 Digital Magazine | Page 31

Helping young people explore their careers Before setting up Success at School our Founder Mitesh spent a year talking to school staff about careers and employability. He discovered an impossible to navigate maze of information, consisting of the odd company flyer, a list of websites and a couple of phone numbers. This is what inspired Mitesh to set up a national careers website so young people could understand the different options out there and employers could access the school market. What you get Platform comes fully loaded with up-to-date, relevant content – from advice on how to write a CV or cover letter, to work experience ideas and live work experience listings. Students can get advice from qualified careers advisers on our forums. What you can do Schools can add their own branding to the site, add student users securely and use simple reporting to track students’ career interests and progress. Students can apply for work experience, update their individual skills passport, and get ready for the world of work via their very own individual profile. Careers resources for all your needs Our bestselling careers posters help young people link academic subjects to careers – they are now used by one in 20 secondary schools and colleges in the UK! Our growing range of online resources brings careers advice directly into the classroom, encouraging pupils in each secondary year group to reflect on what jobs interest them, understand how to research career paths and learn more about what different careers involve.
