National Careers Week 2021: Your available resources

We know that careers are changing. As are young people’s expectations around what they want their careers to look like. Traditional career paths are disappearing as more accessible but equally respected options are now readily accessible.

Discussing career options with your children or younger relatives can be stressful, however it is important for anyone looking to provide advice and guidance to start by listening and resisting the temptation to project their experiences or views on those they are trying to support.

This year, National Careers Week is focusing on ‘empowering positive change through careers education’, with a wealth of useful information, including booklets and guides, available on the NCW website.

As a leading recruiter in the UK we want to take some of the pain out of discussing career options, and have collated a range of these resources for you to access. And don’t forget, if you want more bespoke advice to speak to one of our 30 UK branches or check out resources on our website.
