Happy National Careers Week!

To celebrate the theme 'Own Your Future', we're delighted to invite you and your students to our upcoming live online panel event:

Choosing the Next Step (Not the Whole Career)

Thursday 5th March at 6.00 pm

This interactive session is designed for students and career leaders who want to hear directly from industry professionals, gain insight into diverse career journeys, and ask honest questions about what comes next.

Featuring

Medha Khurana, Business Intelligence Specialist – Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL)

Archie Flynn, Technology Consultant Degree Apprentice – HSBC

Aliyyah Mohammed, Government Science & Engineering Fast Streamer – Department for Transport

This session isn’t about telling students what they should do. It’s designed to help them understand that there’s no such thing as a “perfect” career path, recognise that plans can change (and that’s completely okay), value transferable skills, and feel more confident about making informed decisions about next steps.

You will leave with practical advice and real-world perspectives to help your students navigate the next moves with clarity and confidence.

We hope you can join us to celebrate National Careers Week.

Reserve your place here

Reflecting this year’s National Careers Week theme, “Own Your Future,” this honest and empowering panel event challenges the idea that you need to have everything figured out. Instead, we focus on something far more realistic, and far more powerful: choosing your next step with confidence and making informed choices about what comes next.

Associated British Ports’ first ever, virtual work experience programme is now live! 

# data[].attributes.body
We have chosen National Careers Week to launch the programme, to inspire future talent to consider career opportunities within the maritime industry. As we don’t currently offer a structured onsite work experience programme, this new virtual option provides an accessible way for potential candidates to gain real insight into what it’s like to work at ABP

The programme includes four engaging modules covering:

·  An introduction to ABP

·  Our Twin Missions

·  Our commitment to Health & Safety (Home Safe Every Day)

·  Our early careers pathways

Created with accessibility in mind, the programme can be completed on a PC, tablet, or smartphone (Android/iPhone). As the programme provides structured learning, industry insight and reflective activities, students are able to count this towards CPD learning.

Ronnie Burn:
Bitesize Careers is an excellent new resource for teachers, careers leaders and students alike.

Cherakee Bradley:
Careers content is very inspirational. The video clips use young people, just like the people we work with.

Sue Taylor:
On watching the videos, I was pleased to see that there were lots of different accents, faces, ages and so, students could find something that they could really identify with. I liked the fact it had lots of practical shots of people doing real work, because I think school students sometimes don't really know what the workplace looks like.

Ronnie Burn:
The resource offers real young people embracing opportunities and using their skills and competencies that they have in order to gain.

Neil Willis:
There are over 200 different features. Many of these are video and some are written. These case studies cover a whole vast range of different sectors.

Sue Taylor:
The BBC Bitesize career section and the support shows how important skills such as communication, teamwork, resilience can be developed and practised.

Ronnie Burn:
It provides information on skills for work, for work experience and many different avenues in how young people have actually gained work.

Cherakee Bradley:
The careers content on the Bitesize website is perfect for young people. It's inspirational, it's very relatable.

Ronnie Burn:
It's great to see real people talking about what they've achieved and the journey that they've taken to achieve it.

Sue Taylor:
In a large inner city school like ours, we try and encourage students of all abilities to look at the whole range of options available to them. The videos show that students can go the apprenticeship route, they can go to college, they can continue to sixth form and then perhaps onto university.

Neil Willis:
One of the important things about the case studies is that they really highlight the wide range of pathways and progression routes into different job roles.

Cherakee Bradley:
We're all striving to achieve the eight Gatsby Benchmarks and understand how important this is. This helps us to achieve Benchmark Four, which is careers in the curriculum and also Benchmark Two, with a great deal of labour market information available to us.

Ronnie Burn:
Please take time to look at the website. There are over 200 case studies on there which we can use.
