Helping you into work
At different times in your life you may need extra advice and support to help you into work. Whether you are a lone parent, have a disability, leaving school or college, over 50, or simply out of work, there are a number of services and programmes to help you.
Leaving school, college or university
Moving from school, college or university into work can be a big step. Even if you have a good idea of where you want to be, the best way to get there is not always clear. But there are lots of opportunities and help available to you and this includes getting the experience you need and financial help for training.
Careers online support
A range of free interactive tools to help you find out more about different careers from A to Z and match your career options, based on your skills, interests and values. The CV builder will also help you towards getting that career.
Career matching tools
Use the free career matching tools to get career suggestions based on what you like and/or what you are good at. You can also get career suggestions which match your current or anticipated qualification level.
The tools also allow you to explore suggested options by type of work, working hours, industry, your qualification level and average salary.
