Free Careers and Employability Resources for Schools, Colleges and Youth Organisations

Employability and skills resources

We are delighted to launch a set of free careers and employability resources this week.

We’ve built a range of free resources to help school, colleges and youth organisations support their young people to develop their employability skills. Mirroring our Young Professional Membership these resources enable young people to take control of their skill development.

Our Young Professional membership helps young people build the skills they need for life and work. With a host of supporting resources and activities, the training can be embedded into educational, careers and employability programmes, it’s entirely free to young people and those that support them.

We have created 7 short, ten minute presentations which can be used in assemblies, tutor time or in group work sessions. As well as kick off and round up presentations you will find skill presentations covering our 5 young professional skills: communication, problem solving, team work, self belief and self management.

By simply signing in to Youth Employment UK you will be able to access our quality resources for free.

Our resources have been written with KS4 students in mind but can be adapted and utilised for different learner needs in different environments.

We are also offering the the opportunity to become a Young Professional Partner, if you would like to embed the young professional in your school, college or organisation and track the progress get in touch so we can tell you more.
