Help students plan their future
Thank you to everyone who took part in What Next Sussex. It was great to see so many of you engaging with the resources and taking part in the live chat. The video we launched on the day has lots of ways to be used, if you haven’t already, please make sure you share the video with students and parents/carers!
Every year Get Career Confident creates a video aimed at young people (and their parents, carers and teachers) to help them make informed choices about their next steps after GCSE or other level 2 qualifications.
The video is one hour long and is curated and presented by qualified Careers Advisors. Watching the whole video will give you all the information and advice to help young people understand their options and think carefully about what’s important to them so they can make choices that are right for them. We have split the video into 4 parts so that it can be watched in sections:
- Who Am I? starts at 2.53mins
Exploring you as an individual: what you enjoy, your strengths and how to link that with the choices you make. - What Can I Do and Where Can I Do It? starts at 14.55mins
Exploring education and training pathways and what’s available in Sussex. - How Do My Next Steps Connect with My Future? starts at 29.58mins
Looking at careers and future jobs and how to make sure that what you do next will keep open the options that interest you. - How Do I Get There starts at 42.40mins
What to expect when you move on from school and what you need to do to make applications to providers across Sussex.
We have created a worksheet, available here, to support viewing the video.
Don’t forget, all What Next Sussex content is available here and you can visit Get Career Confident’s directory to explore all the opportunities across Sussex after GCSE.
