Our research shows that parents and guardians, alongside friends, are who young people are most likely to turn to when looking for advice about careers. That’s why it’s important you are equipped with the best information to help them make these important decisions.

With an everchanging education, training and employment landscape, it can be hard to keep across all of the different possibilities available to your child. Especially if your last interaction with this world was when you were at school yourself.

That’s why we’ve created this space to give you access to accurate, high-quality material to help you support your child through their journey into employment.
