RESOURCES - CAREERS

There are so many careers resources out there, it is difficult to know where to start looking. Our Careers Advisers and Employability Workers have gathered some of their favourite places to go for extra careers support.

Directions - our digital offer

Our online careers programme, Directions, was developed in response to COVID-19. It is now a permanent part of our programmes. It is available to young people in secondary and special educational needs and disability schools in Derby City and Derbyshire. It includes access to:

Careers advice and guidance
Employer workshops
How to guides
Transition support
Study techniques and resources

reSOURCES CREATED WITH OUR EMPLOYER VOLUNTEERS

We’ve developed some activities – with help from our employer volunteers and STEM Ambassadors. These include:

A Day in the Life of… – an insight into volunteers roles.
Experiments at Home – simple experiments that can be done at home with household items
Kahoot quiz – take part in our most recent STEM quiz
Living room sessions – video interviews with volunteers
Meet our STEM Ambassadors – fact-sheets including a student challenge
Spotlight on STEM – audio interviews with volunteers
What’s my Line? – guess the job roles of our volunteers

STEM AMBASSADOR REMOTE ACTIVITIES

If you are a STEM Ambassador there are lots of ways you can get involved. We are adding remote activities weekly from networking events to giving clues so young people can guess your job role.
