Students need to know how to find out the facts when it comes to researching their future options and specifically the careers they have in mind. There are lots of ways in which they can access the right support and resources to investigate the world of work and all of the opportunities out there but they have to take ownership and allocate time to do this! Our fantastic resources help encourage them to make the most of all of the help that’s out there whether it’s online or simply going to make an appointment with their Careers Adviser at school or college.
