Your school, academy or college can offer careers advice and guidance to students with support from NCW via their free resources, information on current career opportunities and advice on activities.

Why not host an NCW2021 assembly and follow it up with the ‘About Me’ worksheet. Get your students talking about what they have to offer besides exam results – a feel-good activity to show learners the transferable skills they already have!
