The Parents' Guide to Careers - for National Careers Week 2021
2022 edition coming soon!
It’s National Careers Week 1-6 March and to celebrate we’ve teamed up with NCW to create a free guide to help parents understand their child's vocational options. Whether they're in Year 10 and starting to think about what they might like to do when their GCSEs are over, or whether they're 18 and making plans for adulthood, our guide will help parents understand what choices their children have (if they don't want to stay in full-time education) and what action they can take to get them to the next stage.
