Careers Information, Advice and Guidance

The site provides career information and advice for primary school pupils, secondary school pupils, students, teachers, parents, those that are employed/unemployed and partners.

The site is designed to support people to develop their career management skills, regardless of what stage they are at in their career.

SDS has recently introduced a dedicated web service for adults seeking to change careers at Take control of your career | My World of Work.

Key functionality of the site includes:

• A range of digital tools to help people identify their skills, strengths and understand their personality – the more tools that someone completes the more personalised the service becomes
• A personal account where they can access their profile, complete their skills experience and save key information and milestones to their dashboard – it also has a bespoke ‘to do list’ for secondary school pupils
• The site has a comprehensive course search which provides information on university, college and private course provision. In April 2021 there were over 19,000 courses listed
• The site provides job listings – allowing people to search for job opportunities and a CV tool to help people create a CV and apply for vacancies
• SDS supports secondary school pupils in making their subject choices with an interactive tool that helps young people understand where their subjects could take them
• The site helps people to explore a whole range of different careers with more than 600 job profiles with up-to-date labour market information including details on routes into careers and average salary information
• The site also has articles and resources to support people with interviews, changing career, networking, building confidence and more.
