Career Finder
The below sites are designed to help students find out which possible career sectors/job that might suit them (only complete one of these):
Create an account and select which year group you are in. You can either search for specific job roles or take one of the quizzes and see which job sector is suited to you (remember these are just suggestions it is not saying this is what you have to do).
Create an account and complete the About Me sections. There are four to complete: My Interests, My Work Preference, My Skills and My Qualities. Once these are completed the programme will make suggestions that you may wish to investigate further.
You don’t need to create an account in order to complete the very short quiz – just 5 questions! As with Start Profile once you have answered the questions it will make possible career suggestions.
You don’t need to create an account in order to complete the skills assessment, again possible career pathways/job roles will be suggested.
