About careermag
Careermag is designed to provide quality
information about careers and qualifications.
Careers are not a linear path and you cannot
know what you don’t know. We aim to inspire
and inform about all sorts of careers and
opportunities, now and in the future. We look
at all the pathways you can take, be that
vocational, academic and/or professional.
Careermap also publishes Careermag for Parents
and Careermag for Graduates.
To find our blogs via social media, use
#Careermag.
We welcome your input! Please get in touch if you
have any questions or something to contribute.

Careermap.co.uk is here to provide meaningful support
throughout this unbelievably challenging period. As expected,
the UK job market is rapidly changing which is why we’ve
collated the most up to date information to support students
deciding their next steps after school or college.
This is unlike anything we have ever experienced before, and it can
feel strange, confusing and overwhelming. It’s important that we all
work together to remain positive, be kind to ourselves and to others,
and remember, that one day this will all be a distant memory.
We’re here to provide guidance to support you in making a well-informed
decision. It may seem like there are few sectors growing at the moment,
however, as people use more technology, rely heavily on the health and social
care sector and swap to online shopping - there are still opportunities right now.
You might be surprised to learn this, but at the time of writing this Careermap
had over 13,000 apprenticeships and course opportunities available. To
inspire you, in this issue we dive deep to explore careers and qualifications in:
music, digital and technology, automotive, charity work and volunteering. You
may be surprised at the huge range of careers available in each.
We also look at opportunities available with leading employers and leading
training providers, diversity and inclusion, free study resources available,
T Levels and talking to your parents about your options.
We hope this issue inspires you and provides reassurance
during these unprecedented times.
The
Best wishes,
