Careers Advice Toolkit

Our digital Careers Advice Toolkit is a one stop shop, providing young people with engaging employability skills and careers information. Mapped against the Careers Development Institute and Gatsby Benchmark Frameworks, the toolkit offers expert, evidence-based information and advice to inspire young people exploring career pathways and making informed decisions about their future.  Drawing on our experience of developing young people to world class standards, the toolkit also helps students build key employability skills and close the gap between education and employment.  It is a valuable resource for schools, students, parents, and carers to support any careers programme in the UK.
