Career advice and employability skills project

Career Advice and Employability Skills Project (London based Programme due to funding restrictions)

Quick facts

Age range: 15-25 years.

Criteria: flexible. We can offer up to 10 hours per student at times that suit the young person.

Equipment: participants must have access to their own smartphone or laptop to avail of the online sessions. Career advisors will work with the young people to develop a tailored Career Portfolio.

What is it?

Participants are matched with a professional online career advisor. All of our tutors are trained and DBS checked. Students log on to our easy-to-use online platform for a consultation and followed up with tailored advice and information according to student's needs in subsequent sessions.

Career advisors can also offer help with:

  • application forms
  • applying for apprenticeships
  • information on starting a business
  • CV writing
  • Help preparing for driver theory test
  • Getting a construction card
  • Applying for jobs
  • Interview skills
  • Further training and courses including our Functional Skills for NEET project
