One door closes. Another door opens. Leaving school, university or job might all be gateways to an exciting future if you know where you?re going. But if you don?t ? especially when it comes to career advice and guidance ? you still have many options available no matter what your age and situation.
Sadly, the government made changes in late 2011 that meant funding to the tune of 100 million was lost on for career advice to young people, making resources much less easily available then they had been previously.
Nonetheless, the breadth and scope of the internet means that it?s still possible to research and open your mind to exciting careers opportunities and ideas. You may also still be given some standard counselling or guidance if you are in education, but it?s never bad thing to use your initiative, especially in today?s job market. Some popular and useful websites are listed below, but don?t forget, it?s always worth asking trusted family members or even local businesses or employers for any advice they might have.
If you?re a recent university graduate looking for a careers advice and guidance website, it would be wise not to overlook Prospects, which provides several publications that look into the best available jobs and advice for those looking to establish their career with their recently obtained degrees.
The government-run career advice website ? Nextstep ? focuses on career advice policies, offers practical general help and even gives you assistance in such practical matters as the best way to write your CV and present it to potential employers. Writing a distinct cover letter and creating a polished CV will help you stand out amongst other applicants.
Another recommended career website and often invaluable resource would be Guardian Careers, who offer a large number of available jobs for university leavers and otherwise, as well as niche advice and great columnists. And if you are still a student, or even about to be become one, TheStudentRoom also offers extensive advice and is a popular community for educational and careers advice and guidance.
Notgoingtouni.co.uk is a platform for young people who have thought about pursuing a career outside of university, but don?t have the tools to do so. You?ll find information about courses and apprenticeships in a variety of fields, and guidance about foundation degrees, gap years, voluntary work, as well as more than 300 distance learning videos. Find your apprentice job now!
